Question 2 • GHS Career Prep (1 credit)

In a case where a man sues a corporation for unsafe business practices, he will have to meet what burden of proof?

Answer
A
Under the laws of man
B
A preponderance of evidence
C
Technical reasonability
D
Beyond a reasonable doubt

Explanation

A lawsuit seeking compensation for unsafe business practices is a civil case. In most civil cases, the plaintiff must show that the claim is more likely true than not—a standard called a preponderance of the evidence. “Beyond a reasonable doubt” is the much higher standard generally used in criminal cases, so the correct choice is “A preponderance of evidence.”
