Establishing “proximate or legal cause of the injury” is a requirement in every negligence action. Kent v. Commonwealth, 437 Mass. 312, 320 (2002). Negligent conduct is the “proximate cause of an injury [if] . . . the injury was a foreseeable result of the defendant’s conduct.” Lieberman v. Powers, 70 Mass.App.Ct. 238, 243 (2007).
