Foreseeable

A foreseeable event, time or situation is one that can be easily known about, imagined or guessed before it happens. It is an established legal principle that damages can only be recovered where it can be shown that the loss or injury caused by the defaulting party could be reasonably expected at the time that the event or situation occurred.
