Intentional Tort Law

A tort is an act of wrong doing to one in the absence of a contract. The wrong doing occurs when there is a breach of duty, that is, when one has been inattentive to act in a reasonable manner. The wrong doing or wrongful act must cause loss or injury in order to be acknowledged as a tort. Furthermore, a tort is not necessarily a crime, but depending on the wrongful act committed, could be considered both a tort and a crime, such as when one is physically attacked. A tort is treated as a civil wrong, is used to more or less, make amends to the individual victim via compensation; punitive damages may also be assessed. A crime is considered a public wrong, a breach of duty to the general public, resulting in criminal action being taken by the state, which may include punishment via incarceration. (McAdams, 2015, p. 278).

Battery is simply being touched without consent. For example if you are underage, which is usually under eighteen years old, and your parent or guardian did not give permission to the health care provider to touch or check the patient then it is considered battery. With being intentional tort would be meaning that the health care provider still touches and exams the under aged child without consent even though he knows that he is liable to be held for battery. So always get consent from the parent or guardian so that no one is liable for battery. Because it is so simple to avoid doing something without consent. All a health care provider needs to do is get consent for all under age children under 18 from their parents or guardians.

Tort laws are laws that offer remedies to individuals harmed by the unreasonable actions of others. Tort claims usually involve state law and are based on the legal premise that individuals are liable for the consequences of their conduct if it results in injury to others (McCarthy & Cambron-McCabe, 1992). One of the major, most well-known tort categories is negligence, which is usually a situation when someone accidentally does wrong, which in turns causes injury to another person.

Tort can be a disagreement among two parties but it takes the one of the injured parties to file claim to get compensated for their injuries.
