extraordinary risk

Read a random definition: FSBO

A quick definition of extraordinary risk:

Extraordinary risk refers to a danger or peril that is unusual and increased by the actions of others. It can be an occupational hazard that is specific to a certain job or a risk covered by an insurance policy. Moral hazard is a type of risk that arises from dishonesty or carelessness, while physical hazard is a risk that comes from the material world, such as location or exposure. Imminent hazard is an immediate danger, especially in environmental law, where the use of a pesticide may cause harm to the environment or endangered species.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Extraordinary risk refers to an unusual danger or peril that is increased by the actions of others. It can also refer to an immediate danger that could result in unreasonable adverse effects on the environment or an endangered species.

  • Extraordinary hazard: In workers' compensation, an employee may face an unusual occupational danger that is increased by the actions of other employees. For example, a construction worker may face an extraordinary risk if a co-worker fails to follow safety protocols.
  • Imminent hazard: In environmental law, an imminent hazard refers to a situation where the continued use of a pesticide could result in unreasonable adverse effects on the environment or an endangered species. For instance, if a pesticide is used near a river, it could harm the aquatic life and pose a risk to the survival of endangered species.

These examples illustrate how extraordinary risk can arise from various sources, including the actions of others and the environment. It is important to identify and mitigate such risks to prevent harm and ensure safety.
