Tort Law is a branch of law that deals with civil wrongs, where one person's actions cause harm or loss to another. It allows individuals to seek compensation for damages resulting from accidents, negligence, or intentional misconduct. Common examples include car accidents, medical malpractice, and defamation. The goal of tort law is to provide relief to the injured party and deter others from committing similar acts.
In Tort Law, there are different types of torts, including intentional torts, negligence, and strict liability. Intentional torts occur when someone deliberately causes harm, while negligence involves failing to act with reasonable care. Strict liability holds a party responsible for damages without needing to prove fault, often seen in cases involving defective products.
