If a company drills into the ocean floor and accidentally releases prehistoric sharks, can victims sue? Probably yes — and the legal principle is real even if the scenario isn’t. Negligence doesn’t require the specific harm to be predictable, just that some risk of harm from the activity was foreseeable. If a company creates conditions that lead to injury, liability follows. The sharks are fictional. The accountability isn’t.
