P0847 Evidence that a plaintiff paid his own medical bill out-of-pocket is probative of the amount of the bill and that it was reasonable and is relevant to plaintiff's damage claim and to rebut defendant's claim that plaintiff's injuries were exaggerated and his bills padded; it was therefore an abuse of discretion for the trial court to exclude the evidence on the ground that its probative value was outweighed by its prejudicial effect.CitationSMALLEY v BATY (Paid Bills) 128 CA4 977 [See: EvC 352; Gouskos v Aptos 94 CA4 754, P/AT 1/02; Vorse v Sarasy 53 CA4 998]
