Irene Accuses Revealed In Darla's Case
If Irene files a tort action against her sister Darla for alleging slander, Irene will be successful in her case. But first, what does it mean to allege slander mean? The plaintiff must show that a wrongful statement has been made that causes a person to suffer economically or monetary. Although Darla overheard Irene’s comment on the phone for trying to accept products without paying she does not have physical evidence to prove that she said this. Now for Darla, she told several of her friends about the situation using what she heard herself without no physical evidence. For Irene, she is now being ultimately “accused” of taking products without payment thus showing that Darla can be filed for alleging slander.

    In a negligence suit, the plaintiff has the burden of proving that the defendant did not act as a reasonable person would have acted under the circumstances. The court will instruct the jury as to the standard of conduct required of the defendant. For example, a defendant sued for negligent driving is judged according to how a reasonable person would have driven in the same circumstances. A plaintiff has a variety of means of proving that a defendant did not act as the hypothetical reasonable person would have acted. The plaintiff can show that the defendant violated a statute designed to protect against the type of injury that occurred to the plaintiff.
