Understand Tort Law in 17 Minutes (Part IV)
Channel: animateeducate
Date: 2013-05-12

How do you get out of a negligence claim?  We continue to explain basic concepts of tort law, meaning civil lawsuits.  This video covers the damages, like money or an injunction to stop something, you can win and some basic defenses to negligence.

We'll cover consent and assumption of risk as defense, and we'll also help you understand the difference between regular negligence and "gross" negligence, which is more like recklessness.  And we'll cover what a statute of limitations is and what immunities, like sovereign immunity, mean.  This is a basic overview of the law, not legal advice.

This is part four of a part part series:
