2 sentences

2009Id. "[Rule 413's] reference to `statements of charges' is in this sense." Id. [1] This practical reality finds additional confirmation from the defendant's assertion that "it's likely the jury's verdict of $70,000 was influenced by the level of medical expenses it erroneously believed Walker had incurred."

2007As the court in Hall explained, [T]he congress which passed [section 55] apparently contemplated that the common law collateral source rule would apply in FELA cases as before that Section’s enactment, subject to the directive of [the proviso] that “any sum it has contributed or paid to any insurance, relief benefit, or indemnity that may have been paid to the injured employee or the person entitled thereto on account of the injury or death for which said action was brought” may be setoff regardless of its status under the common law rule. 322 F.Supp. at 95 .
