In this episode…
Lawrence Levine, Director of the Summer Program in Salzburg and Professor of Law at McGeorge School of Law explains the Tort concept of Res Ipsa Loquitur.

Some key takeaways are…
Res ipsa loquitur is a type of circumstantial evidence for proving negligence.
To prove res ipsa loquitur one must show:

  1. The harm would not have happened but for a negligent act
  2. The defendant most likely had control over the instrumentality that caused the harm

Do not get intimidated by latin phrases.
