Subsequent Remedial Measures

Read a random definition: nominis receptio

A quick definition of Subsequent Remedial Measures:

Subsequent Remedial Measures: Fixing something after it has gone wrong to prevent it from happening again. Even though it can't be used to prove someone did something wrong, it can be used to show who owns or controls something or that the accident could have been prevented with better conditions.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Subsequent remedial measures refer to repairs or changes made after an accident has occurred that could have prevented the accident from happening. Although they cannot be used to prove a party's wrongdoing or culpable conduct, evidence of subsequent remedial measures can be admissible for other relevant purposes, such as proving ownership or control.

Example: A company's employee slips and falls on a wet floor in the workplace. After the accident, the company installs non-slip mats and puts up warning signs to prevent future accidents. If the employee sues the company for negligence, evidence of the subsequent remedial measures taken by the company cannot be used to prove that the company was at fault for the initial accident. However, the evidence can be admissible to show that the company took steps to prevent future accidents and was aware of the potential danger.

Explanation: The example illustrates how subsequent remedial measures can be used as evidence in a legal case. In this case, the evidence is not used to prove fault but to show that the company took steps to prevent future accidents. This is important because it can help establish that the company was aware of the potential danger and took reasonable steps to address it.

I don't really know where I want to end up practicing yet, but I've enjoyed living in the midwest so far. I think I might ultimately like to end up as in-house corporate for the work life balance.

I lived in Bloomington for a long time, can't speak to the law school but can answer Qs about the city if you'd like
@ParallelAgreeableOrangutan: How do you think it is to live in as a 20-something going to grad school? The comparison is Iowa city, so not an extremely high bar for liveliness. (No offense intended towards IC. I think it's a lovely place)

If you're outdoorsy, it's nice--obv no coasts or mountains, but two small lakes really close, lots of places you can go on a lowkey hike or camp without paying park fees or anything really
