LAW .
A tortious liability is related to the duty of care, and negligence of that duty, with respect to persons with whom there is no contractual liability. For exampl…e, if a person fails to maintain his property and part of his property falls off and injures another person, the property owner is liable for the damages to that person, even though it may be a passerby with whom there are no contractual obligations. A contractual liability is created when two or more parties promise certain things to each other. A person may engage someone to clean their house in exchange for an agreed amount of money. If either party defaults on the agreement, that is breach of contract and legal remedies are available to the 'injured' party. The law of tort covers many matters of life, and the law of contract is similarly extensive. For more information, see Related links below this box. (MORE)
Liabilities are money or moneys owed to another individual or company by another. There are two main liability categories, Current Liabilities and Long-Term Liabilities. Cu…rrent Liabilities are liabilities that will be paid for in a short amount of time, 12 months or less. Long-Term Liabilities are liabilities that will take longer than 12 months to pay off. Two good examples of these are Equipment that a company purchases on account and will pay off in less than six months and large equipment or assets such as land, equipment, buildings, etc, that will take much longer than six months to pay off. Two further examples may be A POS (point of sale) computer that cost $3,000. The company may choose to pay this equipment off in 6 months from purchase date, this is considered a Current Liability since the payment of this debt will be paid in less than 12 months. I purchase a building/land to open my business for say $500,000, this is a huge amount and it is unlikely (unless I'm really RICH) that I would pay this off in 6 months or less, therefore I will take a mortgage out on the building/land. The building/land is an asset for my company yes, however the mortgage payment, which will probably be 10 years or so, is a liability and is considered Long-Term. (MORE)

Strict liability is a form of civil liability, similar to negligence. The main difference between strict liability and tortious liability is that you can be held liable for an…y harm resulting from certain activities without any fault, simply because the activity falls within the classification of strict liability. Most states have adopted strict liability in some form, and activities that qualify fall into two general categories. (MORE)
