The burden of proof – the responsibility of proving a case – rests with the plaintiff in a personal injury case. It will be up to your personal injury lawyer to fulfill this burden by proving that the defendant is more likely than not responsible for causing your accident and injuries. This burden of proof is called a preponderance of the evidence. Evidence can include:
Photographs
Surveillance footage
Accident reports
Police reports
Eyewitnesses
Accident reconstruction
Medical records
Expert testimony
