Strict liability is a legal doctrine that makes a person or entity responsible for damages caused by their actions, regardless of whether they were negligent or not. In other words, it means that someone can be held accountable for harm done to another even if they did everything correctly and took all necessary precautions. This type of liability is often applied in cases involving products liability, where a manufacturer may be held responsible for any injuries caused by their product, regardless of whether or not there was any fault on their part. The idea behind strict liability is to provide compensation for those who have been harmed and to encourage people to act responsibly, even if they are not negligent.
