Every case is different, and some wrongful death suits will be harder to “prove” than others. In the law, each type of claim is subject to a standard of proof. In a wrongful death claim, the burden of proving the claim is on the party who brought the suit, or the “plaintiff.” The standard of proof for this type of claim is a “preponderance of the evidence” standard, which means that the plaintiff must show that the other party was more likely than not to have caused the wrongful death. While the preponderance of the evidence standard imposes a relatively low bar for plaintiffs compared to other standards of proof, each case requires dedication from an experienced attorney.
