What is the standard of review for a finding of fact in a personal injury case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Mendoza v. Cont'l Sales Co., F061624, F062749 (Cal. App. 2012):

evidence standard, and the trial court's resolution of a question of law is subject to independent review. (Brewer v. Murphy (2008) 161 Cal.App.4th 928, 935.) Thus, the trial court's findings of fact will be upheld if there is substantial evidence to support the finding. (Ibid.) In evaluating the support for a finding, we view the evidence in the light most favorable to the prevailing party, giving it the benefit of every reasonable inference and resolving all conflicts in its favor. (Ibid.) In addition, evidence is defined as "substantial" for purposes of this standard of review if it is of ponderable legal significance, reasonable in nature, credible, and of solid value. (Id. at pp. 935-936.)
