FAQ
A "tort" is an injury to another person or to property, which is compensable under the law. Tort liability may arise from failure to exercise the care that a reasonably prudent person would exercise under like circumstances (negligence) or from intentional wrongdoing (intentional tort).
(1) No fault liability means liability of a person even without any negligent act on his part and even if he has taken due care and caution. (2) If a person brings and keeps any dangerous thing on his land, then he is liable for any damage caused if the thing escapes.
What is tort liability? Simply put, liability refers to responsibility for an action. Tort liability indicates that someone is held accountable for wrong actions (other than under contract.). Torts are tied to civil court claims.
Michigan law requires you to have no-fault automobile insurance on your car. If you have an accident, this required insurance pays for injuries to people and for damages your car does to other people's property and to properly parked cars. IT DOES NOT PAY FOR ANY OTHER DAMAGE TO CARS.
A tort claim is any act that can harm the well-being of a person, by that means violating their rights and making the guilty party liable for their damages and sufferings.
In tort law, fault is applied to various actions and omissions that may result in harm, loss, or injury to another. Fault-based systems in tort law impose liability on a party for compensating harm or damages arising from their negligent, intentional, or even, in some cases, blameless actions.
In tort law, strict liability is the imposition of liability on a party without a finding of fault (such as negligence or tortious intent).
In no-fault states, each party carries insurance that pays for their own injuries, while the at-fault party typically pays for everyone's property damage. In at-fault, or tort, states, insurance for the driver who causes the accident pays for both injuries and damage.
An important consequence of the fact that negligence necessarily involves wrong in the doing, but not in the doer, is that in some of its applications liability for negligence may be strict in the sense that it is imposed on defendants who should not be blamed for failing to have exercised reasonable care.
