Can I submit medical reports instead of having to pay a doctor to testify?
You must present the testimony of your witness. Witnesses may appear telephonically (see WAC 491-04-220). Reports or letters are considered hearsay. Hearsay statements are not usually admissible because the opposing party cannot cross-examine the person making the statement to test the statement's accuracy.
