Yes, there are cases where persons or companies may be "strictly liable" even if they have not acted negligently. For instance, some states have a dog owner is a liability statute which requires the dog owner to fully compensate the injured party if a dog injures or causes injury to a person, even if the dog owner was not negligent. Similarly, if a person is injured by a defective and unreasonably dangerous product, the manufacturer and/or distributors of the product are required to pay the damages caused by the defective and unreasonably dangerous product, even if the manufacturer and/or the distributors were not negligent.
