Explain the doctrine of strict liability with examples.

Strict liability is liability without fault. That is, a participant in a covered activity will be held liable for any injuries caused by the activity, even if he or she was not negligent. This doctrine holds that [1] there are certain activities that can place the public at risk of injury even if reasonable care is taken and [2] the public should have some means of compensation if such injury occurs. Strict liability is imposed for abnormally dangerous activities that cause injury or death. Activities such as crop dusting, blasting, fumigation, burning of fields, storage of explosives, and the keeping of animals and pets are usually considered activities to which strict liability applies.
