Tort Law and Liability
Tort law and liability is a branch of civil law that deals with civil wrongs and damages caused by one party to another. It encompasses various categories such as negligence, intentional torts, and strict liability, allowing individuals to seek compensation for harm or loss due to the wrongful actions of others. Tort law aims to provide relief to the injured party and deter wrongful conduct by imposing liability on the wrongdoer, thereby promoting accountability within society.
