H.R. 3808, Infrastructure Expansion Act of 2017 (CBO Report for Congress)

Premium   Download PDF Now (2 pages)
Congress 115th
Date Requested Jan. 30, 2018
Requested By House Committee on the Judiciary
Date Sent March 7, 2018
Description:

In tort law, an absolute (or strict) liability standard imposes 100 percent liability for injury on the defendant, regardless of actual fault or negligence on the part of that defendant. Under a comparative negligence standard of liability, the court assesses the relative fault of the defendant and the plaintiff to determine the division of liability and apportions the award of damages accordingly. H.R. 3808 would affect claims stemming from gravity-related accidents—for example, when a worker is injured in a fall or by a falling object—on infrastructure projects that are federally owned or funded with federal assistance. Specifically, the bill would require courts to apply a comparative negligence standard when considering such claims.
