Law 421

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).

A tort is wrongful interference against a person or property, other than breaches of contract, for which the courts can rectify through legal action. The reform effort is aimed at reducing the number of unnecessary lawsuits that burden the court system while still allowing injured parties compensation when they’ve been wronged.

However, to prove that a person was negligent the plaintiff must provide evidence that the defendant had a Duty--the defendant was dutiable to the plaintiff because of which he had an obligation to act in a particular manner(not to fire his gun at an unseen target); was there a Breach of duty-- whether he failed to fulfill his obligation to act dutifully; what was the Proximate cause— were the defendant's actions the cause of the plaintiff's injuries; and what were there Actual damages—did the defendant's actions

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 is a civil wrong for which a court of law provides remedy for a civil wrong that has been committed against an individual, Remedy could be sought for a personal loss, financial loss, and personal injury (Smith, 1993). “A tort is simply the Norman word for a wrong but torts have typically been distinguished from crimes and from wrongs identified with contractual relations. Tort law, then, is concerned with civil wrongs not arising from contracts” (White, 2003, p.xxiii).During the very early years of tort been introduced in to legal discourse and proceeding, tort was considered as a wrong that came by way or forceful damage or hurt. It was widely regarded both as a civil wrong and a criminal during those early years, civil wrongs can be classified as a wrong that involves no violence and also a wrong that involves an element of force and violence (Street, 1906).

A tort is a civil wrong that occurs when a party breaches a legal duty owed to another party and as a result the non-breaching party seeks remedy in the form of damages. Negligence is an unintentional tort that occurs when a party fails to provide the proper standard of care that a reasonable person would have provided in a similar situation. A higher degree of negligence is gross negligence. Gross negligence occurs when a party’s action falls substantially below “reasonable care” and such action can be considered as intentional rather than

A tort is a wrong doing from the abuse of a private duty or a wrongful act that injures or interferes with another's

Negligence is the failure to exercise due care or diligence that a reasonable or prudent man would exercise in similar circumstances. The law of negligence falls under tort law where it involves harm that is caused by carelessness and not intentional harm (Katter, 2002). A tort is a civil wrong that is in the form of a breach of duty, which amounts to legal remedy that is awarded in damages. Tort law rests upon two principles that state that an act or omission by the defendant interferes with the rights of the plaintiff, which in turn causes damages (Trindade, 2007). Secondly, the interference caused by the defendant gives rise to a cause of action for damages that are as near as possible to the plaintiff’s loss. Therefore, negligence can be defined as doing something that a reasonable man would not have done in similar circumstances or failure to do what a reasonable man would have done which amounts to infliction of harm.

Common business torts include intentional torts, unintentional torts (negligence) and strict liability. Intentional torts refer to actions that are taken with the intent to cause injury to the plaintiff. Unintentional torts, or negligence, refer to actions that are

Tort can be seen when a wrongful act, whether intentional or unintentional, which causes injury and can be remedied at civil law, usually through awarding damages.
