liability without fault

Read a random definition: villein service

A quick definition of liability without fault:

Liability means being responsible for something, either legally or financially. It can be a duty or obligation that someone has to another person or society. Liability without fault means being responsible for something even if you didn't do anything wrong. This is called strict liability. For example, if you own a dangerous animal and it hurts someone, you are responsible for their injuries even if you didn't mean for it to happen. It's like having to clean up a mess even if you didn't make it.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Liability without fault. It refers to legal responsibility or obligation that is enforceable by civil remedy or criminal punishment, even if the person responsible did not intend to cause harm or was not negligent.

Examples: Strict liability is a common example of liability without fault. For instance, if a person owns a wild animal and it attacks someone, the owner is strictly liable for the injuries caused by the animal, regardless of whether the owner was negligent or not. Another example is product liability, where manufacturers are held strictly liable for any harm caused by their defective products, even if they took all reasonable precautions to prevent the defect.

Explanation: Liability without fault means that a person can be held responsible for harm caused to others, even if they did not intend to cause harm or were not negligent. This type of liability is often used in cases where the activity or product involved is inherently dangerous or risky, and the potential harm to others is high. The examples illustrate how strict liability works in practice, where the person or company responsible for the activity or product is held liable for any harm caused, regardless of their intentions or level of care.
