Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is correct. In a civil trial, the burden of proof is on the plaintiff to prove their case by a preponderance of the evidence, meaning that it is more likely than not that their version of events is true. The defendant only needs to show reasonable doubt to counter the plaintiff's evidence, as opposed to the beyond a reasonable doubt standard in a criminal trial.
