proximate cause of the accident or occurrence herein..
Colleagues from Spain, feel free to send me your suggestions as well. Is okay to translate it as proxima causa del accidente o ocurrencia aquí dentro?
It's a translation about a legal case for Latin People living in The United States and Americans readers.
Here is the full paragraph:
The negligence of those responsible for the accident or the occurrence alleged in
the Complaint constituted a separate, independent, superseding, intervening culpable act or acts which constitute the sole proximate cause of the accident or occurrence herein..

Accident or occurrence would be better translated as "accidente o incidente" or perhaps "accidente o suceso," since the most common meaning of "ocurrencia" in Spanish is "dicho agudo u original," being a synonym of "idea", "agudeza", "gracia", "chiste", "ingeniosidad", etc.

"La OMS recomienda que en la cumplimentación de las causas de defunción se comience por la causa inmediata y se termine por la causa , es decir, en un orden natural de arriba hacia abajo, respondiendo a las palabras que facilitan la comprensión del concepto de secuencia lógica, tan importante para la selección de la Causa Básica de Defunción.
