Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

CDC could potentially be liable for torts committed by Delta if the activity being performed is considered unusually hazardous. This is because the principle of strict liability applies to owners of land where such activities are taking place, regardless of whether they are being performed by an independent contractor. Factors that may be considered in determining whether an activity is unusually hazardous include the degree of risk involved, the likelihood of harm, and the feasibility of taking precautions to minimize the risk. The other options, such as Delta's bid, insurance coverage, or payment arrangements, are not relevant to the question of CDC's liability for torts committed by Delta.
