Exxon Mobil Corporation v. Adam P. Harrington (Appeal from Mobile Circuit Court: CV-18-903102).

Summary

The court affirmed a personal-injury judgment arising from an offshore swing-rope accident, holding that substantive maritime law required exclusion of evidence that the plaintiff's medical expenses were paid by workers' compensation insurance. The court also held that the plaintiff's expert testimony did not open the door to that collateral-source evidence because the proposed rebuttal would have emphasized rather than cured the testimony. The plaintiff's conditional cross-appeal was dismissed as moot.
