Your neighbor has a very rare lizard that they imported back to their house from their travels along the Amazon River.  Most of the time, the lizard poses no danger.  However, during certain seasons, the skin of the lizard becomes poisonous if humans touch it.  Because of this, your neighbor takes extreme caution in keeping the lizard locked up during these dangerous times.  Your city has banned having poisonous lizards as pets because they are extremely dangerous and rare.   One day as you lay taking a nap in your backyard, something brushes along your arm. You look up and realize it is the lizard.  Your arm breaks out into a rash.  Thankfully there were no life-threatening injuries, but you did have to miss a few days of work and had multiple doctor visits.  If you sue your neighbor, it is likely that you will prevail in your lawsuit even if you cannot show that your neighbor failed to act reasonably in looking after the lizard.
