In a medical malpractice case in New York, an injured victim is required to prove their case by a preponderance of the evidence. What does that exactly mean?

It means we have to show that you are more "likely right than wrong."

For example, the jury does not have to sit in deliberations for weeks trying to determine whether we are 100% correct with our claim. Instead, we only have to tip the scales of justice ever so slightly in our favor in order to obtain a verdict in our favor.

An injured victim who is seeking compensation because of a doctors carelessness need only show that he is more likely right and wrong.

Realistically, this means that if the jury is evenly split on who was responsible, then they are required to award a decision in favor of the defense.

However, if we are able to show that we are 'more likely right than wrong' and that tips the scales beyond 50%, then the jury is required to award a decision in your favor.
