context: The court denied the motion with a one-sentence statement likely written by Cardozo, If we assume that the plaintiff was nearer the scene of the explosion than the prevailing opinion would suggest, she was not so near that injury from a falling package, not known to contain explosives, would be within the range of reasonable prevision.
source: Posner doubted the sum was ever collected, noting that Palsgraf's family spoke to legal scholars and periodicals about the case in later years, and never mentioned an attempt to collect what would have been about a year's salary for the disabled former janitor.
reference_original: Posner não acredita que a quantia foi recebida, constatando que, anos mais tarde, a família de Palsgraf conversou com estudiosos de direito e jornais sobre o caso, mas nunca mencionaram a tentativa de receber o que seria quase um ano de salário para a zeladora com deficiência.
