Rules of Evidence

• Section Number: 18.407
• Section Name: Subsequent remedial measurers.

    When, after an event, measures are taken which, if taken previously, 


would have made the event less likely to occur, evidence of the 


subsequent measures is not admissible to prove negligence or culpable 


conduct in connection with the event. This rule does not require the 


exclusion of evidence of subsequent measures when offered for another 


purpose, such as proving ownership, control, or feasibility of 


precautionary measures, if controverted, or impeachment.
