Tort law covers civil wrongs and provides remedies, mostly in terms of financial compensation. A tort is a civil wrong committed by an individual, organization, or government agency.
The most common types of torts are negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and battery.
Negligence is the failure to take reasonable care to avoid causing injury or damage, usually to a person. It is the most common type of tort and can be committed by individuals, organizations, and government agencies.
On the other hand, intentional infliction of emotional distress occurs when someone knowingly or recklessly causes another person to suffer emotional distress.
This can be done physically by hitting someone or verbally through threats or offensive comments.
Battery is the intentional use of force against another person. This may include hitting, kicking, burning, or any other type of unwanted physical contact.
