Editor's Response
At common law, the collateral source rule prevented defendants from attempting to limit the plaintiff's award of damages by introducing evidence at trial showing that the plaintiff had already been compensated for his damages from other sources, such as by an insurance policy or by workers' compensation. Massachusetts altered this common law rule through MA General Laws Chapter 231, Section 60G, which allows defendants to enter such evidence and requires courts to reduce the amount of the plaintiff's award by the amount he or she has already been compensated by or from any other specified source. Good luck, and please tell your friends about The Forum.
