corroborable

Able to substantiate

Something corroborable can be confirmed or supported by additional evidence or testimony.

The term appears most often in legal and investigative contexts, where establishing whether a claim is corroborable determines how much weight it should be given.

Her account of the incident was corroborable through surveillance footage.

If something isn't corroborable, it rests solely on one person's word.
