TYPES OF WRONG
Alabama divides "wrongs" in to several categories. It is not clear if there is any definitive list anywhere, and there is some overlap.
There is strict liability, statutory liability, wantonness, willfulness, recklessness, dram shop, general negligence...
There are defenses, such as contributory negligence, assumption of the risk, no duty,...
The types of wrongs generally determine the standard of proof required and which defenses apply. For example, contributory negligence is no defense to strict liability or willfulness.
