This chapter addresses the four intentional torts, assault, battery, false imprisonment, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, that involve injury to persons—what some call the “dignitary” torts.

Negligence is by far the most common type of tort. Unlike intentional torts, negligence cases do not involve deliberate actions. Negligence occurs when a person fails to act carefully enough and another person gets hurt as a result. For this type of case, a person must owe a duty to another person.
