When someone is accused of negligence the burden of proof falls on?

When someone is accused of negligence, the burden of proof typically falls on the plaintiff, or the party making the claim. They must demonstrate that the defendant had a duty of care, breached that duty, and caused damages as a direct result of the breach. This requires presenting evidence that supports their allegations. In some cases, the burden may shift to the defendant to prove that they were not negligent, depending on the circumstances.
