Introduction
The law of torts deals with civil wrongs that are usually punished in the form of payment of
damages. Just as the plaintiff has the right to claim damages, the defendant has the right to
counterclaim them by bringing up certain defences based on some principles. Inevitable Accident
is one of the general defences against tortious liability. This paper aims to discuss the defence of
inevitable accident in detail and analyse various case laws pertaining to it.
