NALA Certified Paralegal Practice Exam

Which of the following is an example of an activity for which strict liability would be imposed?

1. Medical malpractice

2. Abnormally dangerous activities

3. Keeping dangerous animals

4. (b) and (c) above

The correct answer is: (b) and (c) above

When strict liability is imposed, it means that the party involved is held responsible for damages or harm caused by their actions, regardless of whether or not they were negligent. Medical malpractice, option A, would typically not fall under strict liability as it is usually based on a case of negligence. Keeping dangerous animals, option C, can also lead to strict liability as it is considered an inherently risky activity. Abnormally dangerous activities, option B, also fall under strict liability as they have a high potential for harm and are not considered normal in society. Therefore, option D is the correct answer as both options B and C would result in strict liability being imposed.
