Description

The document outlines the concept of torts, defining them as private wrongs that cause harm to individuals or their property, leading to the possibility of recovering damages through legal action. It highlights the three main types of torts in the US: intentional torts, negligence, and strict liability. Intentional torts require deliberate actions that result in harm, while negligence involves failure to exercise reasonable care, and strict liability applies to inherently dangerous activities. The text differentiates between tort and crime, clarifying that some actions can be both. The pamphlet further details specific torts such as false imprisonment, defamation, and negligence, providing examples and defenses for each. It serves as a valuable resource for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants by offering a clear understanding of tort law and practical applications in legal cases, facilitating informed decision-making and representation for clients.
