Description

The document provides an overview of tort law, focusing on the different types of torts recognized in Washington, which include intentional torts, negligence, and strict liability. An intentional tort arises from deliberate actions that harm another, such as assault or defamation. Negligence, the most common form, involves a failure to exercise reasonable care, causing accidental harm. Strict liability applies to inherently dangerous activities, where harm occurs regardless of intent or negligence, such as using explosives. Key features include detailed explanations of the torts, illustrative examples, and a distinction between torts and crimes. For attorneys, partners, paralegals, and legal assistants, this pamphlet serves as a quick reference for understanding tort claims, guiding in form preparation and case analysis. Clear instructions for filling and editing forms, alongside specific use cases, empower legal professionals to effectively assist clients in tort-related matters.
