A strict liability claim occurs only in specific situations that are so inherently dangerous that the injured party doesn't need to prove that the other party breached their duty of care. The action is considered to be so dangerous that it is clear that a duty was breached without proof or other evidence. Some examples of strict liability personal injury claims are:
Injury related to wild animals. An example is a dog bite if the dog was known to be dangerous, or any injury by a wild, undomesticated animal. In these situations, the owner of the animal will most likely be strictly liable for injuries caused by the animal.
Injury related to abnormally dangerous activities. An example of an abnormally dangerous activity that might give rise to strict liability is working with explosives or storing toxic chemicals.
Injury related to dangerously defective products. Products liability is the branch of the law that holds manufacturers of products strictly liable if there was a defect in the product that caused the injury.
