Tort Liability for Engineers: Bridging Law and Practicality
Year: 2024
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: This paper addresses the challenge of reconciling engineering decision-making with the complexities of tort law, particularly negligence. It focuses on how tort liability can be made practically understandable for engineers, who often struggle to navigate legal obligations due to the contrasting nature of legal and engineering mindsets. By examining key legal cases and principles, the study offers a simplified, actionable framework that engineers can use to predict and mitigate liability risks. The goal is to bridge the gap between legal theory and engineering practice, providing engineers with clear, practical guidance on how to avoid legal pitfalls while maintaining professional responsibility.
