The Burden of Proof in Civil Trials - What You Must Prove

Brian Denney of Searcy Law, a Florida injury law firm, talks about the burden of proof in civil cases. He discusses what it takes to prove your case in trial and the differences between civil trials and criminal trials in terms of the level of proof required.
He also talks about the believability of witnesses and how important it is to anticipate any problems with your defense before your case is in front of a jury.

A score of 10 to 9 not 51 to 10 was a great way to explain how "ever-so-slightly the scales must be tipped. "

If the other party is ordered to report employment, would showing their online career networking profile, where they state they are currently working, along with social media posts about going on ski trips, and information they started a single owner active Llc in a recent year, enough to meet the civol evidence requireme t?

[@gorgig9136]

In most of cases, the Expert Witness play role about burden of proof, Mr. Denney should mentions this in the video or I am wrong?

[@travisjones640]

The burden of proof should be higher. It encourages bull shot law suits. There should have to be some proof before you can even bring a lawsuit. And punishment if it’s proven bull shit and the defendant had to pay to defend themselves

[@foobarmaximus3506]

Yep. So true. It's a system rigged in favor of the accuser, who is usually a person of low morals.

[@nosilverharbinger]

The burden of proof standard being talked about applies to jurors deciding on the evidence that is being provided to them in a civil case. Besides arbitration, many civil suits are resolved through mediation and bench trials and not trial by jury. Many are thrown out before anything can happen at all because of the issues you mentioned and other factors. Of those that are accepted my understanding is that civil trials by jury are relatively rare, making up less than 5% of cases.
If you ever find yourself in a civil jury trial as a juror you will likely be relieved that the standard is so much less. They are often very, very grey in nature and, “slam dunk” cases are the rare exception.

What is the value of court evidence given in criminal proceedings have in civil case

[@briang2557]

It depends on the case and courtroom. Testimony taken under oath can be used for impeachment.

Can I as a plaintiff remove my case from Superior Court to Federal Court?

[@mateobaysa2055]

It depends of the type of cause of action and/or the amount in controversy .

[@jacquelinebtoccigailhelena5184]

public records should do it plus DNA and security footage and audio from my cloud

Can someone tell me who is liable if someone gets hurt when I backing out of my driveway because my neighbor refuse to take down a fence that obstruct the view? I have notified him that if he doesn't take it down he is consenting to full lability.

[@OmarOsman98]

You can take two routes on this. (1) Trespass to Land and maybe (2) Negligence. If I were you, I would contact the injured person and try to get them to sue your neighbor for negligence.

[@OmarOsman98]

Get an attorney and work with the injured person's attorney to work out a deal by which you get the plaintiff to sue your neighbor instead of you. However, if the plaintiff refuses, invoke contributory negligence as an affirmative defense. If your jusrisdiction bars recovery where contributory negligence is present, then you may be exempted from liability.

[@Asian_Connection]

@@OmarOsman98 - Wonderful, he has alot more asset than I do so no use coming after me.

[@OmarOsman98]

@@Asian_Connection That is a good bargaining point. However, if the plaintiff chooses, he may sue both of you simultaneously. Get an attorney

Child support ids a civil case, and I’ve seen and know people who are force to pay child support without paternity test and the man is saying it’s not his child.. Where’s the burden of proof proving it is his to make him pay

[@HueMongussD]

lol He said "Hire" witnesses. I know what he means. It just doesn't sound legit saying it in that way.

[@CORRUPTIONCZARNETWORK]

traffic camera program do reserve burden of proof and put you in jail , suspended driver license without a court hearing I have a weekly video(158) on the perfect money laundering scheme for the camera companies

[@jimmyhoffman6932]

Might want to clarify what witnesses you hire. I'm going to go out on a limb and say you're talking about Expert whiteness. I'm pretty sure you can't hire people who can do the job better than the actual witness but I don't know, you know how the legal system is.
