In any action brought to recover damages for personal injury, injury  to  property  or wrongful  death,  where  the  plaintiff seeks to recover for the cost of medical care, dental care, custodial care  or  rehabilitation  services, loss  of  earnings  or other economic loss, evidence shall be admissible for consideration by the court to establish that any such past or future cost or expense was or will, with reasonable certainty, be  replaced  or indemnified, in whole or in part, from any collateral source, except for life insurance and those payments as to which there is a statutory right of  reimbursement.  If the court finds that any such cost or expense was or will, with reasonable certainty, be replaced or indemnified from  any such  collateral source, it shall reduce the amount of the award by such finding, minus an amount equal to the premiums paid by the plaintiff for such benefits for the two-year period immediately preceding the  accrual of such action and minus an amount equal to the projected future cost to the  plaintiff  of  maintaining such benefits. In order to find that any future cost or expense will, with reasonable certainty, be  replaced  or indemnified  by  the  collateral  source,  the  court must find that the plaintiff  is  legally  entitled  to  the  continued  receipt  of   such collateral  source,  pursuant  to  a  contract  or otherwise enforceable agreement, subject only to the continued payment of a premium  and  such other  financial  obligations  as may be required by such agreement. Any collateral source deduction required by this subdivision shall  be  made by  the  trial  court  after  the  rendering  of the jury's verdict. The plaintiff may prove  his  or  her  losses  and  expenses  at  the  trial irrespective  of  whether  such sums will later have to be deducted from the plaintiff's recovery.  (b) Voluntary charitable contributions excluded as a collateral source of payment. Voluntary charitable contributions received  by  an  injured party  shall not be considered to be a collateral source of payment that is admissible in evidence to reduce the amount of any award, judgment or settlement.

In any such action, the court shall instruct the jury not to deduct   federal, state and local personal income taxes in determining the award,   if any, for loss of earnings and  impairment  of  earning  ability.  The   court  shall further instruct the jury that any reduction for such taxes   from any award shall, if warranted, be made by the court.3. In any such action, the court shall, if warranted by the  evidence,   reduce  any  award for loss of earnings or impairment of earning ability   by the amount of federal, state and local personal  income  taxes  which   the  court  finds,  with  reasonable certainty, that the plaintiff would   have been obligated by law to pay.

Evidence of any conduct or statement made during compromise negotiations   shall also be inadmissible.

Furthermore, the exclusion established by this   section shall not limit the admissibility of such evidence  when  it  is   offered  for  another  purpose,  such  as proving bias or prejudice of a   witness, negating a contention of undue delay or proof of an  effort  to   obstruct a criminal investigation or prosecution.
