    A civil suit is commonly derived from a private party or individual, who alleges damages from duty of care. Once a civil case begins, it is the duty of the plaintiff to prove, with evidence, duty of care, breach of duty, causation, and damages. Conversely, the defendant must prove their affirmative defense against documented allegations. The Oliver versus Brock case proves the importance of supporting evidence as opposed to hearsay statements, to prove the truth of the matter. In the Oliver versus Brock case, Cathy (Plaintiff) filed a lawsuit against Bryan Whitfield Memorial Hospital of Demopolis and the treating physicians Dr. F.S. Whitfield, Dr. Paul Ketcham and Dr. E.C.

    Robert Williamson uses these studies to argue to the court that admitting my client’s past medical bills is giving the Defendant a pass on pain and suffering simply because the Plaintiff was treated by a doctor or hospital whose charges are less than those in other locales within the state or country. Our National Listserv Moderator and KBC Faculty member, Len Gabbay, agrees with Robert. Len encourages us to argue to the court that our client’s medical bills are not probative of any issue in the case since the cost of medical treatment is not an issue in the case. Len Gabbay warns that if the Defense subpoenas the bills, then we should file a motion to Quash the subpoena. According to Len, we must force the defense to articulate why the medicals…
