¶1 concurring. A defendant’s insertion of a collateral source payment is directly analogous to a plaintiff’s insertion of a defendant’s insurance coverage. In neither instance can the law afford a rigid rule that any reference, inadvertent or otherwise, under any circumstances necessarily requires a mistrial. On the other hand, such an insertion is a serious matter. Upon a review of the record, I rather reluctantly concur that prejudicial error was not shown.
