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 any harm resulting from certain activities without any fault, simply because the activity falls within the classification of strict liability.

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.
The three categories of strict liability are: Strict liability for abnormally dangerous activities: Examples include blasting operations, keeping wild animals, and storing explosives. Strict liability for defective products: Examples include faulty car brakes, contaminated food products, and unsafe children's toys. Strict liability for ultrahazardous activities: Examples include nuclear power plants, toxic waste disposal, and handling of dangerous chemicals.
