What is prejudicial evidence in a personal injury case?

For purposes of Evidence Code section 352, prejudicial evidence is evidence that " ' "uniquely tends to evoke an emotional bias against . . . [one party] as an individual and . . . has very little effect on the issues." ' " (People v. Harlan (1990) 222 Cal.App.3d 439, 445.) Or, stated in other terms, prejudicial evidence is evidence that might cause the jury to " ' " 'prejudg[e]' a person or cause on the basis of extraneous factors." ' "
