• Disclaimer

• Personal injury claims are claims for damages arising out of the wrongful conduct of others. Such claims often include claims for tangible losses such as a past wage loss, a loss of future income, medical expenses, vocational rehabilitation expenses, maintenance and cure, substitute services and the like. Such claims also often include claims for intangible losses such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of consortium, loss of love and affection and the like. These claims can be difficult to evaluate.

Hawaii Personal Injury and Accident Law News and Cases
In some jurisdictions, courts require a defense medical examiner to produce tax returns as a prerequisite to allowing the witness to testify against an injured claimant. See, eg, Noffke v. Perez, Sup. Ct. of Alaska No. S-12185, 2008 Westlaw 746972 (Alaska, March 21, 2008). This requirement exists because large amounts of income from insurance companies shown on the doctor's 1099's and tax returns shows a reason for bias. Unfortunately, the Hawaii courts and the LIRAB have consistently failed to provide even this minimal protection against often highly biased defense medical examiners purchased by insurance companies. A change of course is needed.
