The title tort states the law in relation to intentional interference with persons, goods, land, economic interests and the administration of justice as well as the law in relation to derivative rights of action.
Torts fall into three general categories: Intentional torts (e.g., intentionally hitting a person); Negligent torts (e.g., causing an accident by failing to obey traffic rules); and. Strict liability torts (e.g., liability for making and selling defective products - see Products Liability).
The intent required for the tort of assault is the desire to arouse an apprehension of physical contact, not necessarily an intention to inflict actual harm.
Four of them are personal: assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and false imprisonment. The other three are trespass to chattels, trespass to property, and conversion.
There are three basic types of torts: Intentional torts, where someone intentionally committed a wrong and caused an injury to someone else. Negligent torts, where someone violated a duty they owed to the person harmed, such as running a red light and causing an accident.

A tort is a civil wrong that is done to one party by another and that causes the victim to suffer harm or loss. The claimant in a tort matter may sue for damages or other forms of relief. Many torts are created under the common law, but there are also statutory wrongs that amount to torts.
A tort is an act or omission that causes legally cognizable harm to persons or property. Tort law, in turn, is the body of rules concerned with remedying harms caused by a person's wrongful or injurious actions.
