Q: What's the difference between strict and regular liability for products liability cases?
A: strict liability is a cause of action where the Plaintiff doesn't need to prove negligence to win.
A: The differences are technical. Bottom line--it's not a d.i.y. area of the law. Call a member of the Fla Justice Assn
A: Generally, Florida subscribes to strict liability for product liability cases. To give a fair answer, we may need to know more about the facts as to what concerns you or gives rise to the question here.
A:
Strict liability is a special class of liability. Rather than needing to demonstrate some form of breach of duty from a given standard of care, the general concept is that the claimant be able to show that a product was defective.
