What term describes the only solution or compensation available to a plaintiff in a specific legal scenario?

• A. Exclusive remedy
• B. Special Mission Exception
• C. Personal risk
• D. Commercial traveler rule

Answer: (A)

The term describes a single, designated remedy that is the only path for relief in a given legal scenario. When a remedy is exclusive, the plaintiff cannot pursue other claims or damages beyond that specified remedy. A common example is workers’ compensation, where injuries arising out of and during employment are resolved through the workers’ compensation system, and civil lawsuits against the employer are generally barred—making workers’ compensation the exclusive remedy. The other terms refer to different concepts—the special mission exception is a narrow liability exception, personal risk relates to assuming risk, and the commercial traveler rule concerns scope of employment—so they don’t fit the idea of one, sole remedy.
