Tort Law Hornbook Session 2 (Part 2) of 3: Liability and Specialized Areas
This legal discussion covers three core areas of tort law: strict liability, defamation, and product liability. Strict liability focuses on holding individuals or entities responsible for harm caused by inherently dangerous activities or defective products, regardless of intent or negligence. Defamation examines legal protections against false statements that harm reputation, distinguishing between libel and slander and considering the role of free speech. Finally, product liability details the legal frameworks for holding manufacturers and sellers accountable for injuries caused by defective products, exploring different types of defects and legal theories of liability.
