Meaning of "case"

[alexzive]

Can somebody explain me the meaning of case in this context?
thanks!

"If the majority of injuries are serious, then a case can be made for the uselfulness of protective clothing. However, if the primary types of injuries are soft-tissue injuries then a greater case could be made for training and experience as preventive measures."

Hi,

Case here means argument - in the sense of a reason that you put forward for doing something.

I have to go with Alan here. In the context above, 'case' means argument. When lawyers use the word 'case', they generally are referring to a legal problem , or set of related problems/issues specific to a given client. For example, 'Ms Mahar's case, involving the motor vehicle accident, is a particularly troublesome one.'
