The Importance of Accurately Determining the Underlying Cause of Death in a Causal Chain Situation. Effects on Legal Liability. Essential Role of Forensic Investigation in Determining the Underlying Cause

Forensic research responds to requests to scientifically verify and analyse certain actions and their effects in the past to provide precise solutions for future use, both in the case in question and jurisprudence in general. This retrospection is indispensable for the establishment of irrefutable conclusions, the foundation of any legal liability that is intended to be indisputable. The novelty of the research stems from recent case law, which has emphasized the essential role of proving the causal link both for establishing the existence of the act and guilt in a criminal investigation, as well as for attracting civil liability in case of meeting the legal requirements necessary for civil liability.
