A Responsabilidade Civil Extracontratual refers to the legal obligation to compensate for damages caused to another person, even when there is no prior contract between the parties. This concept is essential in ensuring that individuals or entities are held accountable for their actions that result in harm or injury to others. In this context, the injured party can seek compensation for various types of damages, including physical injury, emotional distress, or property damage. The key elements typically involve proving that the responsible party acted negligently or intentionally, leading to the harm suffered by the victim.
