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

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.
