Podkorytov N.S. Tort prevention in the United States

Abstract: The subject of this research is the analysis of the United States legislation in the area of “tort prevention”. The author presents the practice of application of this institution, legal doctrines used in the United States of America, comparative analysis with the legislation of the Russian Federation, as well as the German legislation. In addition to studying the civil legal institution of tort prevention, the author conducts a research in the area of sources of high risk. The author proposes to form a legislative designation of the sources of high risk, borrowing the concept of calculated risk from the US legislation, and implementing the legal precedent with regards to cases related to tort prevention as a doctrinal and basic approach towards regulation of relations.
