The Fourth element is Proximae Cause. Both Causation and Proximate Cause relate to each other. Proximate Cause exists when the damage is foreseeable. Is this a foreesable result here?

Here is another example to illustrate Proximate Cause. Lets say I cause a traffic accident that results in the other motorist suffers a broken arm. When the medics arrive, they are placing the motories on a stretcher. When they begin to move her to the medic squad, they accidently drop her back on the ground which results in her left leg being broken.

Am I legally responsible for all the injuries to the motorist based on the element of proximate cause?
