Subsequent Remedial Measures Objection

A Subsequent Remedial Measures Objection is raised when a party in a legal proceeding believes that evidence of repairs or changes made after an incident is being used to prove negligence, culpability, or a defect in a product. This objection aims to encourage parties to make safety improvements without fear of such actions being used against them in court.
