Personal Injury Glossary
Best Evidence: The most direct evidence possible, such
as producing an original document to prove that the document
exists and what it states. A copy of a document or testimony by a
witness would be "secondary evidence." The best evidence
rule prohibits the introduction of secondary evidence unless best
evidence cannot be obtained, so long as the party seeking to
introduce the secondary evidence is not at fault in making the
best evidence incapable of being obtained.
