What is the evidence that the jury was entitled to consider in determining whether there was evidence of negligence against defendant?
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.)
