M.M.D. v. B.L.G

In a cause of action for negligent transmission of genital herpes, causation must be proven by a preponderance of the evidence.
Recurring genital sores, coupled with a medical evaluation that the sores may be herpes, gives rise to a duty to warn sexual
partners. M.M.D. brought this action against her former boyfriend, B.L.G., alleging he negligently and intentionally infected her with
genital herpes. After a court trial, the trial judge found in M.M.D.'s favor. On appeal, B.L.G. argues M.M.D. failed to carry
her burden of proof. We disagree and affirm.
