Rule 408 - Compromise Offers and Negotiations(a) Prohibited Uses. Evidence of the following is not admissible to either prove or disprove the liability for or the validity or amount of a disputed claim: (1) furnishing, promising, or offering - or accepting, promising to accept, or offering to accept - a valuable consideration in compromising or attempting to compromise the claim; and(2) conduct or a statement made during compromise negotiations.(b) Exceptions. If this evidence is otherwise discoverable, it need not be excluded merely because it is presented during compromise negotiations. And it need not be excluded if admitted for another purpose, such as proving a witness's bias or prejudice, negating a contention of undue delay, or proving an effort to obstruct a criminal investigation or prosecution.Amended September 20, 2023, effective 1/1/2024.
