Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Des Moines County, Shawn R. Showers, Judge. REVERSED AND REMANDED. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Potterfield and Tabor, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, J. (11 pages)
Christine Warth appeals the district court’s award of damages to State Farm Insurance stemming from a car accident. OPINION HOLDS: We find the exhibits relied upon by the district court in its damage calculation contained inadmissible hearsay and did not fit within the business-records or residual exceptions. We reverse the damage award and remand for further proceedings.
