Q: Strict liability only requires that a plaintiff proves fault on the part of defendant
A:
If you're asking in terms of general information, the premise of strict liability is that the plaintiff doesn't need to demonstrate negligence in an injury (the question is posted Personal Injury - the concept can also come up in criminal prosecutions). It arises in cases involving dangerous products or very hazardous activities. In contrast, injury cases such as car accidents are often based on negligence, where the plaintiff attempts to demonstrate that the defendant breached a certain duty of care. If you're asking beyond general information and in reference to an actual matter, it would be best to consult with a Texas attorney in your area.
