Description

This is a multi-state form covering the subject matter of the title. Georgia Motion in Liming to Prevent Evidence of Remedial Measures is a legal procedure used in Georgia courts to exclude or prohibit the introduction of evidence relating to actions taken by a party to correct or improve a dangerous condition. Such evidence may include safety precautions, design changes, or other remedial measures taken after an accident or injury has occurred. This motion is filed by a party (plaintiff or defendant) who seeks to prevent the opposing party from presenting evidence of any remedial measures they may have implemented after the incident. The purpose of this motion is to ensure that the jurors or the judge will solely consider the facts and circumstances that existed at the time of the accident or injury and not be influenced by actions taken after the fact. This motion is supported by Georgia law, specifically O.C.G.A. §24-4-404, which generally excludes evidence of subsequent remedial measures to prove negligence or culpable conduct. There are two main types of Georgia Motion in Liming to Prevent Evidence of Remedial Measures: 1. Motion to Exclude Evidence of Subsequent Repairs: This type of motion is used when a party seeks to prevent the opposing party from presenting evidence showing that repairs or improvements were made to a defective product, property, or equipment after an accident or injury. The purpose is to prevent the prejudicial effect of such evidence on the jury's assessment of liability. 2. Motion to Exclude Evidence of Safety Measures: This type of motion aims to exclude evidence of safety precautions or measures taken by a party after an accident or injury has occurred. The intent is to avoid the inference that the party was negligent or at fault by suggesting that they only took steps to improve safety after an incident. By filing a Georgia Motion in Liming to Prevent Evidence of Remedial Measures, the party seeks to maintain the focus on the events and circumstances as they existed before any remedial actions were taken. This ensures a fair assessment of liability and prevents potential prejudice or the misconception that taking corrective measures is an admission of fault.
