Res ipsa loquitur is a legal doctrine that allows an inference of negligence on the part of the defendant when it is clear that the accident was caused by something within the exclusive control of the defendant and that the accident would not have occurred without negligence on their part. This doctrine raises a presumption of negligence and shifts the burden of proof to the defendant to show that they were not negligent.
