Practice question
A claimant proves an injury occurred near the defendant's premises but offers no sufficient evidence of negligent conduct or causal connection. No presumption applies. Is injury alone enough for the asserted quasi-delict?
- Yes, proximity conclusively proves negligence
- No, the missing fault and causation must also be established
- Yes, the defendant's wealth supplies the missing elements
- No, because quasi-delict never compensates injuries
- Yes, every accident creates strict liability under Article 2176
