Strict Liability Bailment Cases

Summary

Strict liability in bailment cases can apply to a freight moving company carrying goods and a hotel failing to provide a safe. A finder of lost property may claim title against all except the true owner. Mislaid property involves constructive bailment and is inadvertently forgotten by the owner. A gift causa mortis is given in contemplation of imminent death. Insurance defenses include lack of insurable interest, illegal actions, and fraud by the insured. Insurable interest means financial risk at the loss of the insured subject. Homeowner’s insurance typically covers personal liability. Comprehensive auto insurance covers various damages. Personal property is movable, unlike real property. Mislaid property is voluntarily placed and forgotten. Valid gifts require intent, delivery, and acceptance. Title to personal property can be transferred through sale, gift, or conversion. Bailment involves rightful possession without title transfer. Unclaimed found property should be turned in to local authorities. A will dictates inheritance. In a bailment for the sole benefit of the bailee, the bailee is responsible for damages.
