The Causal Link Between Loss and the Event

Loss arising after an event does not alone establish that the event legally caused it. Causation requires showing which conduct caused which loss. Where several causes exist, their effects must be assessed separately.

How Is the Chain of Events Established?

Liability assessment under Articles 49 et seq. of the Turkish Code of Obligations compares the pre-event position, intervention, and result. Technical or medical issues may require expert examination. The report's documents and assumptions must be read as well as its conclusion. An existing health or financial problem may not entirely remove the event's effect; its additional effect must be shown.

The Effect of Other Causes

The injured person's conduct, third-party intervention, or an extraordinary event may affect liability. Whether these break causation or reduce compensation are different questions. Liability cannot be rejected in every file merely by saying another factor existed. The event's nature and applicable liability type must be considered.

Preservation of Evidence and Challenges to Reports

Physical traces, digital records, and witness accounts that may change over time must be preserved. The expert should answer the technical question rather than make legal assessments. We match each alleged loss to the event chain, separately showing the proved connection, missing data, and technical points requiring explanation in the report.

Documents That May Be Prepared for the Initial Review

• Records before and after the event
• Technical or medical reports
• Images and reports
• Dates of the heads of loss
