Abstract: This paper studies the entire class of liability rules, and considers the bilateral care accidents. It is shown that the ‘causationconsistent’ liability provides a basis for an efficiency characterization of the entire class of liability rules. Moreover, it remains a basis for an efficiency classification even when the risk is bilateral.
