In a civil case, the plaintiff must prove their case by a preponderance of the evidence, meaning it is more likely than not that their claim is true. This standard is lower than the "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard used in criminal cases. The burden of proof is on the plaintiff, not the defendant.
