activein force · 1995-01-01 – presentas-observed

In response to the plaintiff's claim, the defendant alleges that the plaintiff's loss resulted from the plaintiff's own negligence. In order to establish this claim, the defendant must prove that it is more likely true than not true that:

(1) the plaintiff was negligent, and

(2) negligence of the plaintiff was a legal cause of the plaintiff's (injury) (damage).

I will explain what "negligence" means and what "legal cause" means in a moment.
