Tort law is a branch of civil law that deals with civil wrongs or harms caused by one party to another, resulting in legal liability. These wrongs can include negligence, intentional harm, or strict liability. The primary goal of tort law is to provide compensation to the injured party for the harm caused to them, as well as to deter others from committing similar wrongs in the future. Tort law covers a wide range of situations, including personal injury cases, property damage, defamation, and more.
