Negligence and Strict Liability: A Comprehensive Guide, Slides of Commercial Law

An in-depth analysis of the legal concepts of negligence and strict liability. Negligence is discussed in terms of its four elements - duty, breach, causation, and damages. The definition of duty, factors of breach, and special rules for professionals, land possessors, rescuers, and res ipsa loquitur are also covered. The document then explores causation of injury and damages, including compensatory damages for personal injury, property damage, and economic loss, as well as punitive damages and the eggshell plaintiff concept. The document concludes with an overview of strict liability, which includes abnormally dangerous activities and product liability.
