what is strict liability?
Strict liability is a legal rule that means a person is legally responsible (“liable”) for injury, damage, and/or loss regardless of whether the person was negligent or reckless.
For example, because Arizona has a “strict liability” law for dog
bites, if your neighbor’s dog bites you, then your neighbor is liable
for your medical bills and damages even if your neighbor was not
negligent. This means that even if the dog was on a leash, and the dog
never bit anyone before, and the dog is non-violent and not a “vicious”
dog, your neighbor is still liable because of one simple fact: your neighbor’s dog bit you.
