FAQ

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).

Generally, intentional torts are harder to prove than negligence, since a plaintiff must show that the defendant did something on purpose.

Intentional infliction of emotional distress involves a claim where the defendant's extreme or outrageous conduct caused the plaintiff emotional harm. These types of cases can be difficult to prove in court since emotional distress tends to be subjective.

Some injuries can change a person's life, but are incredibly difficult to diagnose and treat. This is often the case when it comes to injuries such as whiplash, nerve damage, sprains, strains, mild traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) and concussions.

Negligence is by far the most common type of tort. Unlike intentional torts, negligence cases do not involve deliberate actions. Negligence occurs when a person fails to act carefully enough and another person gets hurt as a result. For this type of case, a person must owe a duty to another person.

Then, you have to show the court that the doctor's actions or inactions were the direct cause of your illness and that your health was damaged as a direct result. Of those four components, causation is often the hardest element to prove in court.

Four of them are personal: assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and false imprisonment. The other three are trespass to chattels, trespass to property, and conversion.
