The Restatement (Third) of Torts

The Restatement (Third) of Torts is a legal framework that clarifies and organizes principles of tort law, which deals with civil wrongs and injuries. It aims to provide consistent guidelines on how liability is determined in cases of negligence, product liability, and other torts. By summarizing judicial decisions and legal standards, it helps judges, lawyers, and scholars understand and apply the law more effectively. While not legally binding, it serves as a valuable reference for court decisions and legal practice, promoting fairness and predictability in resolving disputes related to harm and compensation.
