Heading: Post-Accident Medical Records

Text: Loncar argues that the superior court erred in admitting all of the medical records of testifying physicians and all of the records they relied on. She seems to raise two arguments, both of which are resolved by our recent decision in Dobos v. Ingersoll. [23] Loncar implies that the records of doctors who did not testify are barred as hearsay. However, in Dobos we applied Evidence Rule 803 to conclude that medical records fall squarely within the business records exception to the hearsay rule. [24] Loncar also argues that admission of the records was prejudicial because she did not have the opportunity to cross-examine all of the doctors. However, if [Loncar] wished to question [the] doctors, [s]he could have called them to the stand [her]self. [25]
