OLSZEWSKI, Judge,
concurring:
I concur with the majority’s result here. I believe, however, that the statement “All medical bills attached to this Request in Exhibits ‘A-E’ were reasonable for the treatments rendered,” was properly deemed admitted. The reasonableness of the medical bills does not call for a conclusion of law, but is instead a question of fact.
I do agree that requests for admissions 11(A), 11(C), and II(T-W) were erroneously deemed admitted. Because these *400statements constituted the major portions of appellee’s case establishing the four classic elements of a negligence action— duty, breach, causation, and harm — these statements were prejudicial to appellants. It was, therefore, reversible error to admit them into evidence. Accordingly, it is unnecessary for the majority to address appellants’ claim that the verdict was against the weight of the evidence.
