Is the evidence of medical malpractice prejudicial?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Chaudhry v. Angell, Case No. 1:16-cv-01243-SAB (E.D. Cal. 2020):

Here, the evidence of medical lawsuits is highly probative to the cause of Plaintiffs' economic damage claim in this action. While Plaintiffs argue that the evidence is prejudicial, they fail to identify any prejudice that would result from the admission of the evidence of medical lawsuits. "[R]elevant evidence is inherently prejudicial; but it is only unfair prejudice, substantially outweighing probative value, which permits exclusion of relevant matter under Rule 403." United States v. Hankey, 203 F.3d 1160, 1172 (9th Cir. 2000).
