One of the most important topics in the economic analysis of law is civil liability and the basis of civil liability is the most fundamental issue in analyzing the content of civil liability rules and the way that the legal system views these rules. There are two types of approaches to economic analysis of Basis of Civil Liability; economic analysis of traditional Foundations and tendency to new basis. Conventional foundations are fault-based liability theory and fault-free liability theory that in the legal literature, these are called fault theory and risk theory. In the general rules among traditional theories, by changing their lawsuits and their level of caution, either fault or strict liability can be effective. Market rights have generally accepted strict liability and the theory of market security. In the market rights, new foundations have been introduced because of inefficiencies of traditional foundations And because of their social capability, they are becoming more prominent in the legal literature of the world. The consequentialist basis are deterrence and distributive justice. This research is an analytical-descriptive study using library data in two topics.

One of the common difficulties in the field of environmental torts is the proof of causation between the tortious conduct of the tortfeasor and the damage suffered by the victim. This problem, according to the principles of economic analysis of tort law, results in denial of tort claims which itself, encourages the tortfeasor to externalize costs of his hazardous activities, dilutes his incentives to reduce environmental risks in an optimal way, and finally, disturbs the deterrent function of tort law. On the contrary, in recent decades, it is widely accepted that the preventive principle plays a crucial role in sustainable development. The importance of preventive approach in environmental policies requires the tort law –as one of the means of such policies –to serve the aim of deterrence as well as compensation. With these points in mind, this paper first clarifies the three main situations in which the proof of causation is problematic. It then tries to analyze possible solutions of those situations, using an economic perspective and to propose the most compatible solution with deterrence and efficiency, namely using the proportional liability in specific categories of environmental accidents.
