No fault liability system

An injured person receives compensation up to a specified amount without having to prove fault (e.g. negligence) against a third party. In the UK certain industrial injury benefits are payable automatically under the social security regardless of fault. In some countries road accident victims secure compensation without having to prove fault but the UK operates a fault liability system in most areas of injury/damage.
