Question

A crop-dusting company has been dusting fields with chemicals. Despite the company’s extreme care, a bystander was injured while walking through a field that the company was crop-dusting. Why is the crop-dusting company legally responsible for the bystander's injury?

Answer 1

Answer:

The crop dusting company is strictly liable for the injuries suffered by the bystander.

Strict liability refers to a situation where one party is liable for hurting another party just because the injuries occurred. There is no negligence or tortious intent involved, there is an injured person and someone responsible for those injuries.
