The Four Elements of a Tort The accused had a duty, in most personal injury cases, to act in a way that did not cause you to become injured. The accused committed a breach of that duty. An injury occurred to you. The breach of duty was the proximate cause of your injury.
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.
In Pennsylvania, tort cases are civil lawsuits, also known as personal injuries or damages. This law gives grounds for an individual to file a lawsuit against another individual or company due to harm or injury incurred by the 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).
