Can this be a ground for counter-suit ?

Actually, about half the states do permit mention of insurance at trial.

And, of course, a statement by a plaintiff that he is really after the insurance money might be an exception to the general rule in the other half.

That’s why liability insurance is never, ever mentioned during a trial. Of any kind.

However, it’s a long way from a guy in a sauna talking about it to a insurance company paying it. A looooonnnnngggg way.
