Raquel is speeding in her car through a busy town center when she veers off the road to avoid a cat and plows into a small newspaper stand. The stand flies into the air and smashes through the glass windows of a nearby yoga studio, where it startles Adam, a yoga student, and sends him flying into a set of lighted candles. As a result, Adam suffers a serious burn. Adam sues Raquel. What result?

Answer:Adam will lose because Raquel's conduct was not the proximate cause of his injury.

Step-by-step explanation:

It was not due to Raquel's negligence that Adam was injured but it was just a series of unfortunate situations that led to his injury.

Raquel swerved in an aim of saving the life of a cat but unfortunately the newspaper stand flied to the studio's window which one can argue and say that was the direct impact to Adam.
