Abstract
Drones are much debated as weapons of war and due to privacy issues. Drones are also now under development for package delivery. This paper examines the potential liability associated with the domestic use of drone aircrafts and offers solutions for drone liability. This paper also examines potential drone liability through the lens of existing trespass causes of action and other applicable laws such as nuisance and negligence. Furthermore, this paper analyzes the legality of shooting down a drone for self-defense and discusses the minimum insurance requirements for drones.
