OPINION
MINGE, Judge.
Insurance agent challenges the district court’s award of damages to motorist for agent’s negligent failure to procure added underinsured-motorist (UIM) coverage arguing that (1) motorist’s settlement with and release of the insurer released agent as representative of the insurer; and (2) the district court did not properly apply the collateral-source statute. MinmStat. § 548.251 (2008). Motorist, in a consolidated cross-appeal, challenges the district court’s application of the collateral-source rule to reduce the jury award. We affirm.
