Survey of Recent Developments in Indiana Product Liability Law	2006	54	.pdf	application/pdf	27962	1582	67	^^^ Bourne is a significant decision because it reinforces at least three important points for Indiana product liability practitioners: (1) defective condition and unreasonably dangerous are not interchangeable terms; (2) the concept of open and obvious remains quite relevant in Indiana product liability law even though it is no longer a stand-alone defense; and (3) whether a product presents an unreasonable danger can and should, under the proper circumstances, be decided by the court as a matter of law rather than automatically defaulted to the jury. Citing a case applying Indiana product liability law from the early 1980s, the plaintiffs in Bourne argued that whether a product is unreasonably dangerous is a question for the jury and should not be decided as a matter of law.	cache/inlawrev-3789.pdf	txt/inlawrev-3789.txt
