Claim Tort

Common torts include:assault, battery, damage to personal property, conversion of personal property, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Injury to people may include emotional harm as well as physical harm.

Torts are civil wrongs that cause someone to suffer loss or harm. Most tort lawsuits seek damages for negligence rather than deliberate injury and fall into one of three categories: auto cases, medical malpractice or product liability. Tort lawsuits now account for less than 5% of all civil filings in state courts.

Under tort law, seven intentional torts exist. 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.

A tort, in common law jurisdiction, is a civil wrong (other than breach of contract) that causes a claimant to suffer loss or harm, resulting in legal liability for the person who commits the tortious act.Tort law involves claims in an action seeking to obtain a private civil remedy, typically money damages.

The presence of a duty. The breach of a duty. An injury. The injury resulted from the breach.

A lawsuit is a formal case that has been filed in the appropriate court of law, while a tort claim is usually an informal notice of claim that may trigger an informal resolution without the cost of litigation.

In most California Tort Claim Act claims, proper notice of a claim must be filed within six months of the injury or accident.
