incur
Become liable for
To incur is to bring something upon yourself, usually something unpleasant or costly: incur debts, incur expenses, incur the wrath of your boss.
The word implies that your actions or choices led to the consequence, though not necessarily through fault—you might incur legal fees defending yourself against false charges.
