Hearsay Exceptions When Declarant Must Be Unavailable 

This episode of On Subrogation focuses on the hearsay rule of evidence and exceptions that are allowed only when the out of court declarant is unavailable to testify. The video discusses the out of court statements that are defined as hearsay under the rule and then defines what is considered witness “unavailability” under the Federal Rules of Evidence. We then discuss three exceptions to the hearsay inadmissibility rule under Rule 804 that are frequent in subrogation cases. Those exceptions to the hearsay rule are those for former testimony, statements made under imminent belief of death, and statements against interest.
