Can I present the court with estimates of repair?

In most cases the Court will allow the limited use of repair estimates. However, this exception is limited to use of the repair estimates to establish the basis of your opinion as to what it will cost to repair the damage to the property. Any other information contained in the estimate, such as an opinion as to the cause of the damage, must be presented through the testimony of the person who formed that opinion, usually the person who prepared the estimate.
