What is the test for admissibility of evidence in a medical malpractice case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. TOLDS, A121237, No. 195570 (Cal. App. 2011):

We find no error in the court's ruling. The admissibility of evidence is reviewed for abuse of discretion only. (People v. Cowan (2010) 50 Cal.4th 401, 482.) Here, the court reasonably concluded the various expert opinions could better be evaluated in light of whether they did or did not take into account the earlier arrests and medical records.
