Assertion (A): Strict liability torts do not care about the intention or carelessness of the defendant when the defendant caused the injury.

Reasoning (R): Strict liability is available in a wide variety of cases.

A is correct but R is false.

Strict liability torts do not care about the intention or carelessness of the defendant when the defendant caused the injury. The claimant does not have to establish any sort of or level of blame attributable to the defendant based on the intention or the degree of carelessness. Strict liability is available in a very limited context.
