What Activities Equal Strict Liability?
This category of animals for strict liability purposes is further broken down into three subsections: • Wild Animals – If you keep a wild animal that is not prone to domestication, you will be liable for any damage that animal causes, even if you were not at fault. Some examples of animals that fall in this subsection are coyotes, monkeys, rattlesnakes, lions, tigers, and elephants. • Dangerous Animals – If you keep a pet that you know has dangerous tendencies, you will be liable for any damage that animal causes, even if you were not at fault. The most common example is a fighting dog, such as a pit bull or rottweiler. • Intrusion of Live Stock – If you have animals that trespass onto another person’s property, you will be liable for any damage those animals cause to the land, even if you were not at fault.
