This discussion (not just your reply) wasn’t sitting right with me so I had to look into it a bit closer to get more clarity. While it’s true that the concept of innocent until proven guilty doesn’t exist in civil cases, it doesn’t appear that the opposite is generally true. The burden of proof is still on the plaintiff, though the bar is much lower than for criminal cases (which comes as no surprise).
