Standard of Proof in Medical Malpractice Cases
In medical malpractice cases, the standard of proof is largely based on the preponderance of evidence which requires a party to prove that a certain instance is more likely to have happened than to not have.
In medical malpractice cases the witness and expert testimony will play a large role in determining whether or not the standard of care was met and if a medical malpractice incident actually occurred.
