Blastco is an expert demolition company. During the process of leveling some land, Blastco fell behind in their schedule and used twice the normal amount of dynamite to blast some hills. When a charge exploded, the blast broke several of the windows in Paul's home. Paul lives near the blast site. What theory or theories may Paul use to recover damages from Blastco? Discuss fully


Blasting would probably be considered an ultrahazardous activity for which Blastco would be held strictly liable. Blastco would likely be held liable for negligence based upon breaching a duty to act reasonably under the circumstances. Blastco could also probably be held liable for committing a nuisance, a nontrespassory interference with the use and enjoyment of real property.
