Torts are civil wrongs that cause harm or injury to another person or their property. In such cases, the law allows injured parties to seek compensation from the person who caused the harm. Torts can be classified into three categories: intentional, negligent, and strict liability.
Intentional torts involve a deliberate act or omission that causes harm to another person or their property, such as assault, battery, defamation, false imprisonment, fraud, trespass, and conversion. Negligent torts result from a failure to exercise reasonable care or skill that causes harm to another person or their property, which include medical malpractice, car accidents, slip and fall, product liability, and professional negligence. Strict liability torts impose liability on a person regardless of their fault or intention, for example, animal attacks, abnormally dangerous activities, and defective products.
