Miss. R. Evid. 409
Evidence of furnishing, promising to pay, or offering to pay medical, hospital, or similar expenses resulting from an injury is not admissible to prove liability for the injury.
Miss. R. Evid. 409
Advisory Committee Note
The language of Rule 409 has been amended as part of the general restyling of the Evidence Rules to make them more easily understood and to make style and terminology consistent throughout the rules. These changes are intended to be stylistic only. There is no intent to change any result in any ruling on evidence admissibility.
This rule fills a gap in Mississippi's evidence law. There exists no pre-rule Mississippi case on the relevance of offers by a defendant to pay plaintiff's medical expenses.
["Advisory Committee Note" substituted for "Comment," effective June 16, 2016; amended July 1, 2016, to note restyling.]
