It turned out that the plaintiff's claim was false.
The word 'claim' in the context of the sentence refers to an assertion of the truth of something, typically one that is disputed or in doubt. This is closely related to the concept of 'allegation', which is a claim or assertion that someone has done something illegal or wrong, typically one made without proof.
