Heading: admissibility of medical bills

Text: In its fourth assignment of error, AEG assigns that the district court erred in admitting the medical bills without foundation and without qualifying as an exception to hearsay. At trial, AEG objected to the receipt of all the medical bills and to most of Webb's testimony regarding the amount of medical expenses for which he was obligated and sought recovery from AEG. On appeal, however, AEG does not assign error with respect to the overruling of its objections to Webb's testimony. The admission of evidence which is primarily duplicative of other evidence admitted into the record is not reversible error. Anderson v. Bellino, 265 Neb. 577, 658 N.W.2d 645 (2003). Because the information in the medical bills themselves is primarily duplicative of Webb's testimony, and the rulings of the trial court with respect to Webb's testimony are not assigned as error on appeal, the district court could not have committed reversible error in admitting the bills into evidence. This assignment of error is therefore without merit.
