Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Strict liability is imposed on activities that are of a dangerous nature and involve high risks of harm to others, regardless of the level of care exercised by the defendant. Using dynamite to prepare land for highway projects is inherently dangerous and can cause significant harm if not properly executed. Therefore, strict liability is imposed on Earth Movers for this activity. The other choices are not relevant to the imposition of strict liability.
