Subpart F - THE ILLINOIS MILITARY RULES OF EVIDENCE
Section 400.680 - Subsequent Remedial Measures

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 12, March 22, 2024

When, after an injury or harm allegedly caused by an event, measures are taken that, if taken previously, would have made the 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, a defect in a product's design, or a need for a warning or instruction. This Section does not require the exclusion of evidence of subsequent measures when offered for another purpose, such as:

a) proving ownership, control or feasibility of precautionary measures, if controverted; or

b) impeachment. (Il. Mil. R. Evid. 407)
