Handling Strict Liability Accidents
What is Strict Liability?
Strict liability is sometimes also called absolute liability. It is defined as the legal responsibility for damages, or injury, even if the person found "strictly liable" was not at fault or negligent. Strict liability has been applied to certain activities, such as holding an employer absolutely liable for the negligent acts of their employees. These laws were enacted to protect individuals who are injured through no fault of their own due to a dangerous activity. It is most commonly associated with defectively manufactured products. In addition, certain inherently dangerous activities may be conducted only if the person conducting them is willing to insure others against the harm that results from the risks the activities create. An example would be racecar races conducted on city streets, where onlookers are closely lined up along the path of the race and could possibly be injured due to a loss of control of the racecar. Other types of strict liability activities could include demolition companies, medical malpractice and other types of personal injury accidents.
