Strict Liability: When Fault Doesn’t Matter.

from Law School in Plain English: Torts & Criminal Law. · host Jeff Brown

Send us Fan MailYou’re liable even if you did nothing wrong. Welcome to Strict Liability—the torts rule that says fault doesn’t matter. In this episode, we break down how owning a vicious dog, storing explosives, or making homemade fireworks can cost you big—even if you were careful. No negligence? No defense. From Rylands v. Fletcher to explosives, delivery drones, and pit bulls on the loose, we explain in plain English why strict liability exists, who it protects, and why it should make every business owner (and dog parent) sweat. Perfect for 1Ls cramming torts or anyone who’s ever said, “But it wasn’t my fault!”Support the showThanks for listening to Law School in Plain English.
