Definition - What does Proximate Cause mean? Proximate cause refers to a direct cause of loss, without which the loss would not occur; therefore, it is a highly relevant principle in the insurance industry. For an act or event to be considered a proximate cause, it does not necessarily have to directly precede a loss or begin a chain of occurrences leading to the same.
There may be more than one proximate cause of an [occurrence] [injury] [occurrence or injury], but if an act or omission of any person not a party to the. suit was the âsole proximate causeâ of an [occurrence] [injury] [occurrence or. injury], then no act or omission of any party could have been a proximate. cause.
