Evidence that a person was or was not insured against liability is not admissible upon the issue whether the person acted negligently or otherwise wrongfully. 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 COMMITTEE NOTE

This rule is the federal rule, verbatim. The provisions of this rule are comparable to Rule 54, Utah Rules of Evidence (1971) and case law. Cf. Robinson v. Hreinson, 17 Utah 2d 261, 409 P.2d 121 (1965); Reid v. Owens, 98 Utah 50, 93 P.2d 680 (1939).
