Palsgraf v. Long Island Railroad | 162 N.E. 99 (N.Y. 1928)
In Palsgraf v. Long Island Railroad, Mrs. Palsgraf (the plaintiff) was standing on a train platform, when a man carrying a package rushed to board a moving train owned by the Long Island Railroad (the defendant). Two train employees pushed and pulled the man onto the train, causing the package, which was filled with fireworks, to fall onto the tracks. The rear wheels of the train ran over the package, causing it to explode. The explosion caused a scale (or penny weighing machine) on the platform to fall onto and injure Mrs. Palsgraf.
Mrs. Palsgraf sued the Long Island Railroad Company, arguing that, had it not been for the railroad’s employees pushing the man with the package, the package would have never fallen and exploded and the scale would have never fallen onto her.
