Ind. R. Evid. 407

As amended through April 3, 2024
Rule 407 - Subsequent Remedial Measures

When measures are taken that would have made an earlier injury or harm less likely to occur, evidence of the subsequent measures is not admissible to prove:

. negligence;

. culpable conduct;

. a defect in a product or its design; or

. a need for a warning or instruction.

But the court may admit this evidence for another purpose, such as impeachment or-if disputed-proving ownership, control, or the feasibility of precautionary measures.
