    Solution

    In a negligence claim, the concept of "proximate cause" refers to the idea that the damage caused by the defendant's breach of duty must be a foreseeable and direct consequence of the negligent act. It prevents recovery for damages that are too remote or unforeseeable. Therefore, it is necessary that the defendantโ€™s breach of duty must cause damage to the plaintiff.
