Supreme Court of California
Howell v. Hamilton Meats and Provisions, Inc., S179115
In a dispute involving the scope of the collateral source rule, judgment of the appeals court is reversed where a plaintiff may not recover from a tortfeasor, as economic damages for past medical expenses, the undiscounted sum stated in a health provider's bill but never paid by or on behalf of the plaintiff since the plaintiff suffered no economic loss in that amount.
