Personal Injury Attorney in West Palm Beach

Strict Liability

There are some circumstances where a person or entity can be held liable for another's injuries, regardless of intent or negligence. This is referred to as strict liability. In these situations, the injured party does not need to prove that the defendant did something or failed to do something that constituted negligence or wrongful conduct. Rather, the injured party must prove how and why the injury occurred in accordance with Florida personal injury law, as well as that he or she has sustained compensable damages as a result of the injury (medical expenses, lost wages, etc.)

Who can be held strictly liable in a personal injury claim?

Whether the responsible party can be held strictly liable for your injuries will vary depending on the circumstances of your case. Most often, strict liability claims are related to defective products and dog attacks. Manufacturers may be held strictly liable if they produce a consumer product that has some type of defect that causes injury to a consumer who was properly using the product. Dog owners may be held liable for injuries that their dogs inflict, even if the dog had no history of violence or had not attacked anyone in the past.
