““No advance payment or partial payment of damages, predicated on possible tort liability, as an accommodation to an injured person, or on his behalf to others ... of medical expenses, loss of earnings and other actual out of pocket expenses, because of an injury . . . property loss or potential claim against any person, firm, trust or corporation, shall be admissible into evidence as an admission against interest or admission of liability by such party or self insurer, or if paid by an insurer of such party, as the insurer’s recognition of such liability with respect to such injured . . . person, or with respect to any other claim arising from the same accident or event.
