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).

There are three types of torts, namely: (1) intentional torts, (2) negligence, and (3) strict liability. In intentional tort, the tortfeasor intended to cause harm to the person or property. Examples of this type of tort are assault, fraud, defamation, and invasion of privacy.
