What is the evidence that the jury was entitled to consider in awarding damages to plaintiffs in a motor vehicle accident case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Hughes v. Pham, E052469 (Cal. App. 2014):
The foregoing is clearly substantial evidence the jury was entitled to find credible and which is sufficient to meet plaintiffs' burden to prove that defendant's negligence was a substantial factor in causing plaintiffs' damages. It is irrelevant that there was also evidence to the contrary. (Howard v. Owens Corning, supra, 72 Cal.App.4th at p. 631.)
