The three defenses to strict liability that defendants may use are:
-
Assumption of Risk: The defendant can argue that the plaintiff knowingly engaged in an activity that involved inherent risks, thereby assuming those risks.
-
Product Misuse: If a plaintiff uses a product in a manner not intended or warned against by the manufacturer, the defendant can claim that the misuse contributed to the injury.
-
Comparative Negligence: In some jurisdictions, a defendant may assert that the plaintiff's own negligence contributed to the harm, potentially reducing or eliminating liability.
