Actually...in a civil case....the matter is decided by the preponderance of evidence...which means "what is more likely to have occurred.....in a criminal case the burden of proof is much tougher and completely different. When the jury gets the charged by the judge they are explained the difference and the common language is "51% gets you there."

Medical experts do opine based on FACTS and then they give an opinion as to proximate causation

Not trying to argue with anyone....but if the owner of the dog has insurance...they will offer a defense for the policy holder......

This story is bogus anyway....I have NEVER worked for an attorney or in any firm that needs someone to take a poll on a message board that is clearly biased.....and further it's completely unethical for the attorney to be "working with both sides" it's called a conflict of interest and Legal Malpractice!
