No, the doctrine of strict liability can apply to a variety of other situations beyond just abnormally dangerous activity. These may include certain product liability cases, activities involving animals, and some cases of harmful conduct or behavior. In strict liability cases, the defendant can be held liable for damages without having to prove negligence or intent.
