What is one argument regarding the allocation of risks in reference to tort law?

What will be an ideal response?


Advocates of expanded tort liability see tort law as the knight in shining armor, duly anointed to protect the interests of the consumer. In their perception, manufacturers and those who deliver services are better able than consumers to predict and prevent injuries from the use of their products and services. The burden of injury, they reason, should be borne by those who create risks rather than by those who fall prey to them. The philosophical and political debates on the issue of risk allocation have gained new significance in one of the most recent developments in tort law-product liability.
