What is the test for abuse of discretion on the admissibility of evidence in a personal injury case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Farley, D062857 (Cal. App. 2014):

Farley contends that the trial court abused its discretion in admitting evidence of his tattoos. He maintains that the evidence was irrelevant and should have been excluded pursuant to Evidence Code section 352. We review the trial court's evidentiary rulings for abuse of discretion. (See, e.g., People v. Guerra (2006) 37 Cal.4th 1067, 1113 [abuse of discretion standard of review applies to any ruling by a trial court on the admissibility of evidence and is particularly appropriate for questions regarding relevance and undue prejudice].)
