P, a passenger in O's car, was injured when the car collided with a taxi driven by D. P sues D. D seeks to introduce evidence of settlements between D and O, where O agreed to pay for damages to D's vehicle, and between P and O, wherein O paid P an undisclosed amount for P's injuries. What ruling and why?
Even when evidence of a completed settlement is not offered against a party, can it be excluded under Rule 408 if offered to prove "invalidity of the claim or its amount"?
