Strict Liability for UAS Operators

In plain language

As a drone operator, you are legally responsible for any damage your drone causes to other people or property, even if it was an accident, unless it was entirely the victim's fault.

Requirement as structured

UAS operators are strictly liable, regardless of fault, for damages caused to third parties by their UAS, unless the accident is due to the exclusive fault of the injured party.

Original regulatory text

1 - Os operadores de UAS respondem, independentemente de culpa, pelo ressarcimento dos danos causados a terceiros por esse sistema, salvo se o acidente se dever a culpa exclusiva do lesado.
