Article 1624

A person is liable where by his act he inflicts bodily injury on another.

No liability is incurred where:

the act causing the injury was, ordered by law, or was done in legitimate self-defense or defense to property or where the injury is due solely to the victim’s fault; or

in the exercise of a sporting activity, a person injures another taking part in the same activity, or attending as a spectator, provided that there is no malice or gross infringement of the rules of the sport.
