Intentional Tort

An intentional tort is a legal wrong that occurs when someone deliberately acts in a way that causes harm or injury to another person or their property. Unlike accidents, intentional torts involve a purposeful action, such as assault, battery, or defamation. To prove an intentional tort, it must be shown that the person intended to perform the act and that the act resulted in harm. Laws against intentional torts help protect individuals from deliberate harm and provide a way for victims to seek compensation or justice.
