liability laws

Liability laws determine when a person or organization is legally responsible for harm or damages caused to another party. If someone is found liable, they may have to compensate the injured party for losses. Liability can arise from various situations, such as negligence (failing to act with reasonable care), intentional misconduct, or strict liability (where responsibility exists regardless of fault, like in product defects). Understanding liability is essential for individuals and businesses to protect themselves and navigate risks effectively in legal contexts.
