Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The doctrine of strict liability applies to abnormally dangerous activities that involve a high risk of harm even when all reasonable precautions are taken. The use of dynamite in remote mining operations meets this criteria, so Resources Recovery would likely be liable. Storing household cleaners in a suburban garage does not meet the criteria for an abnormally dangerous activity, so Sabrina would not be liable under the doctrine of strict liability.
