Description

The document provides a detailed explanation of tort law, specifically focusing on the types of torts recognized in Uganda. It categorizes torts into three main types: intentional torts, negligence, and strict liability. Each category is accompanied by clear definitions and examples to illustrate key principles. For instance, intentional torts involve deliberate actions causing harm, whereas negligence pertains to a failure to exercise reasonable care, leading to damages. Strict liability holds individuals accountable regardless of intent, especially in inherently dangerous activities, such as using explosives. The form serves as a valuable resource for various legal professionals such as attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants by providing a comprehensive overview of torts that can aid them in advising clients or preparing legal documents. Additionally, the content includes instructions on filling out the form, ensuring clarity on how to apply the information, particularly in cases of tort claims. The utility of this knowledge is evident in scenarios involving personal injury, property damage, and professional malpractice, where legal practitioners must identify applicable torts to advocate effectively for their clients. Overall, it serves both as an educational pamphlet and a practical guide for understanding tort liabilities.

FAQ

From this perspective, to make a claim in tort a claimant must show that they have (or had) a right, exercisable against the defendant, that has been infringed. However, the claimant's right is not a right exercisable against the defendant as it is not a property right (which is exercisable against the world).

For example, a janitor has a duty to put up a wet floor sign after mopping. If he or she fails to put up the sign and someone falls and injures themselves, a negligence tort case may be filed.

Intentional infliction of emotional distress This is a difficult tort to prove, as it has several elements: intent and outrageous or extreme conduct that causes severe emotional distress.

Torts fall into three general categories: Intentional torts (e.g., intentionally hitting a person); Negligent torts (e.g., causing an accident by failing to obey traffic rules); and. Strict liability torts (e.g., liability for making and selling defective products - see Products Liability).

The Four Elements of a Tort The accused had a duty, in most personal injury cases, to act in a way that did not cause you to become injured. The accused committed a breach of that duty. An injury occurred to you. The breach of duty was the proximate cause of your injury.
