Abstract

This article reconsiders the standard unilateral accident model in a probabilistic universe (excluding radical uncertainty). Unlike the latter, the agents (injurer and victim) form different estimates probability of accident distribution and damage assessment. Consequently, the social cost of an accident varies according to the civil liability type (while invariant in the standard model). The correspondence between the strict liability regime and the negligence rule no longer exists except in the case where the polluter estimates the costs of the damage at a higher level than that of the victim
