Torts: A tort is a wrongful act that injures or interferes with another's person or property. A tort case is a civil court proceeding. The accused is the "defendant" and the victim is a "plaintiff."
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).
Generally, intentional torts are harder to prove than negligence, since a plaintiff must show that the defendant did something on purpose.
An intentional tort is a deliberate act of misconduct that harms someone, either physically, emotionally, or financially. Although a tort is not the same as a crime, many intentional torts are also crimes. The victim of an intentional tort can file a claim against the perpetrator seeking monetary damages.
