This answer in no way creates and attorney/client relationship. The rules of evidence do not allow subsequent remedial measures to be used as evidence in most cases, as public policy would favor improvement of situations. You may still have a case, however, if your lawyer can show that the poor lighting was the legal cause of your wifes medical bills. I am both a S.C. board certified internist and attorney.
