Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a strict liability action, the plaintiff (Marla) does not have to prove that the defendant (Longhaul) was negligent or intentionally disregarded the safety of others. Instead, the plaintiff only needs to show that their injury was caused by the defendant's operation or use of a product, such as transporting radioactive materials. Therefore, Marla only needs to prove that her cancer was caused by the radiation from the radioactive materials transported by Longhaul, which falls under their operation. Choices A and B are not applicable in this scenario because they involve negligence or intentional harm, which are not required elements in a strict liability case. Choice D is too broad and speculative as it encompasses any source of radiation, not just the specific transportation of radioactive materials by Longhaul.
