In some jurisdictions, courts require a defense medical examiner to produce tax returns as a prerequisite to allowing the witness to testify against an injured claimant. See, eg, Noffke v. Perez, Sup. Ct. of Alaska No. S-12185, 2008 Westlaw 746972 (Alaska, March 21, 2008). This requirement exists because large amounts of income from insurance companies shown on the doctor's 1099's and tax returns shows a reason for bias. Unfortunately, the Hawaii courts and the LIRAB have consistently failed to provide even this minimal protection against often highly biased defense medical examiners purchased by insurance companies. A change of course is needed.
