Description

The document provides an overview of tort law, detailing the different types of torts: intentional torts, negligence, and strict liability. Torts generally represent private wrongs that lead to recoverable damages, contrasting with crimes that violate public duties. The intentional tort category encompasses actions meant to harm, while negligence involves a lack of reasonable care, and strict liability applies to inherently dangerous activities irrespective of fault. Key features include specific examples and defenses of torts, like false imprisonment, defamation, and trespassing. Users should fill out the form by clearly labeling their claims, presenting evidence of damages, and specifying whether the tort was intentional, negligent, or subject to strict liability. Attorneys, paralegals, and legal assistants will find this information crucial for guiding clients through tort claims, representing defendants or plaintiffs, and understanding liability implications in various scenarios.
