next time please post the appropriate choices

a. battery b. negligence c. strict liability d. assault

Vocaloid · Answer

that being said, any ideas? battery and assault usually require deliberate intent, so maybe let's consider the other options

negligence vs strict liability.

negligence = failure to use reasonable care, resulting in damage or injury to another.

strict liability = Absolute legal responsibility for an injury that can be imposed on the wrongdoer without proof of carelessness or fault.

any ideas between these two?
