Per se negligence in United States

Per se negligence 

Should be seen as a form of strict liability: an imputation of negligence where there is no showing of fault. Statutes sometimes impose per se negligence for certain acts or ommissions. Ironically as strict liability in commerce, i.e. products liability is being adopted, instances of per se negligence in the non-commercial context have diminished as they are formalistic, inflexible and substantively unfair.
