FAQ
In tort law, strict liability is the imposition of liability on a party without a finding of fault (such as negligence or tortious intent).
In no-fault states, each party carries insurance that pays for their own injuries, while the at-fault party typically pays for everyone's property damage. In at-fault, or tort, states, insurance for the driver who causes the accident pays for both injuries and damage.
An important consequence of the fact that negligence necessarily involves wrong in the doing, but not in the doer, is that in some of its applications liability for negligence may be strict in the sense that it is imposed on defendants who should not be blamed for failing to have exercised reasonable care.
In tort law, fault is applied to various actions and omissions that may result in harm, loss, or injury to another. Fault-based systems in tort law impose liability on a party for compensating harm or damages arising from their negligent, intentional, or even, in some cases, blameless actions.
Florida's 51% bar rule is a legal principle that falls under the broader concept of comparative negligence. This rule states that a person can recover damages in a personal injury case as long as they are not more than 51% at fault for the incident.
