This 50-state survey of the law, Plaintiff's Medical Care and Treatment—Discovery and Evidentiary Issues, is the latest in a series prepared by litigators and trial lawyers across the United States and published by the Products Liability Committee of the Section of Litigation.  We often find ourselves consulting with colleagues in other jurisdictions and researching the law of other states and territories on medical evidence and discovery issues and procedures.  Aspects of the law in this area have also changed in recent years in various jurisdictions due to tort reform and the impact of new and emerging federal laws and regulations.  Our experience in practice and the observed changes were the genesis of this survey.
