Principles of European Tort Law

The Principles of European Tort Law provide a common framework for understanding how liability and compensation work when someone is harmed by another's actions. They focus on principles like fault (recklessness or negligence), harm caused intentionally or unintentionally, and the idea that the responsible party should make amends. The principles aim to ensure fairness, clarity, and consistency across different countries by establishing standards for when someone can claim damages for injuries or losses caused by another's wrongful conduct. Essentially, they guide how courts determine responsibility and ensure victims receive appropriate compensation.
