NEED AN ANSWER -- SCC trial

What is the name of your state?

Florida, Seminole county

Suit against a national nursing provider -- not malpractice --

I have a letter from my wife's doctor stating that the only reason that she, the doctor, is requiring daily nursing visit is because of a damaging letter written to her by the Nursing company. The letter is easily proven false. This is costing me $300 per month in medically unnecessary nursing visits. I am suing for the damage that the false letter from the Nursing company caused.

QUESTION: Now for the trial, is the letter from the doctor any good at the trial, or will we need a deposition from the doctor stating that the letter from the healthcare company was the sole cause of her requiring daily nursing visits?

I really hate to bring the doctor in on this anymore, because my wife depends on her doctor for a chronic illness.

Depending on the EXACT contents (and context) of the letter, it could be sufficient. However, you really can't rely solely on the letter, since the defense would object to its admission (since it can't be crossed).

You would be on much more solid ground if you had the deposition or testimony that would be able to answer ALL the issues... by both parties.
