I det praktiska rättslivet har frågor om bevisbörda och beviskrav alltid haft en stor betydelse för tvistens utgång. I skadeståndstvister har skadelidande som huvudregel bevisbördan för att det föreligger en ansvarsgrundande handling eller underlåtenhet, att en skada har uppstått och att det föreligger adekvat kausalitet mellan skadan och den ansvarsgrundande handlingen. Skadelidande ska även bevisa skadans art och omfattning. Inte sällan kan det finnas betydande svårigheter för skadelidande att styrka/visa det skadeståndsrättsliga kravet på orsakssamband mellan uppkommen skada och ansvarsgrundande handling. För att skadeståndets preventiva och reparativa syfte inte ska riskera att försvagas kan skadelidande erhålla en bevislättnad.
