Definition of Prima Facie
Prima facie is Latin for "on
the face of it" or "at first sight." As we mentioned
earlier, lawyers like to use Latin words in an effort to feel
important. This one is actually one of the more common Latin terms
that is a part of the lexicon of most personal injury accident
lawyers in Maryland. A prima facie case presents enough evidence
for the plaintiff to win their personal injury case, barring any
defenses or additional evidence presented by the defendant that
got by that "first sight."
