Evelin Booker · Answer 1

True

Explanation:

The doctrine of strict liability applies to tort law, and it states that the plaintiff doesn't have to prove that the defendant was negligent, intentional or at fault. All the plaintiff must prove is that the tort occurred, that he/she suffered because of it and that the defendant was responsible for the tort.

This doctrine generally applies to situations that are considered dangerous by nature, e. g. selling alcohol to minor or ownership of wild animals.
