Article IV. Relevance

Rule 411. Liability Insurance

Evidence that a person was or was not insured against liability is not admissible upon issues of negligence or other wrongful conduct. This rule does not require the exclusion of evidence of insurance against liability when offered for another purpose, such as proof of agency, ownership, or control, or bias or prejudice of a witness.

Advisory Commission Comments

The rule restates Tennessee common law.
