the law of torts
Strict liability torts are legal wrongs for which a person can be held responsible without the need to prove fault or negligence. Examples include product liability, ultrahazardous activities, and certain types of animal-related injuries.
More accurately there are THREE areas: intention torts, negligence, and strict tort liability.
There are three main types of torts: negligence, intentional torts, and strict liability torts. Negligence occurs when someone fails to exercise reasonable care, resulting in harm to another person. Intentional torts involve deliberate actions that cause harm, such as assault or defamation. Strict liability torts apply when harm is caused by a particular activity or product, regardless of fault.
