2. A type of strict liability based on causation alone, without any other limiting factors.\u00a0 *\u00a0 Absolute liability is often distinguished from strict products liability, which limits\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>strict liability to injuries caused by a product defect. <\/span><\/strong>[1]<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1. Liability for an injury resulting to another where no account is taken of the standard of care exercised, often called insurer’s liability. 38 Am J1st Negl \u00a7<\/span> 4<\/span>.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Criminal liability of which intent is not an element. 21 Am\u00a0 J2d Crim L \u00a7 91<\/span>. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Excerpt from<\/span> Phillips v. Kimwood Mach. Co.<\/em><\/a> (Or. 1974):<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cNo one wants absolute liability where all the article has to\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong>do is to cause injury.<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/strong> [2]<\/span><\/p>\n
