What is "Fault?"
Fault can mean many things under the law, including:
- Negligence
When a person or company owes a duty to you, violates that duty creating an unreasonable risk of harm and the violation of the duty injures you, that person or company has been negligent. Some common duties are to abide by the traffic rules, to abide by laws and to provide a safe environment for guests in our home or business.
- Willful Misconduct
Willful misconduct occurs when someone acts with a specific intention to cause injury (or has great indifference to the rights of others) and knows that the misconduct will result in bodily injury or wrongful death. Willful misconduct may include intentional assaults and drunk driving.
- Strict Liability
Under certain circumstances, an individual or company is presumed legally responsible for any injury that occurs. This is called strict liability. Some circumstances may include unsafe products, dangerous animals and the violation of a law or statute that imposes a duty.
