What is tort law?

[Samuel]

I’m trying to better understand tort law and how it works in real-life situations. From what I’ve read, tort law deals with civil wrongs where one person’s actions cause harm or loss to another, leading to legal liability.


However, I’m still a bit unclear about the different types of tort law, such as negligence, intentional torts, and strict liability. How do courts determine fault under tort law, and what kind of compensation can a victim receive?

Tort law is basically about situations where someone is harmed because of another person’s actions or negligence, and it gives the injured person the right to claim compensation; for example, things like accidents, defamation, or negligence cases usually fall under tort law, and it’s mainly focused on making up for the damage rather than punishing someone.
