tort actions
Tort actions are legal cases where someone seeks compensation because they've been harmed or wronged by another person's actions or negligence. The harmed party, called the plaintiff, must prove that the defendant’s conduct caused their injury or loss. Common torts include personal injuries from accidents, defamation, or product liability. The goal is to hold the responsible party accountable and to provide remedies such as monetary damages. Tort law aims to promote responsible behavior and ensure that those harmed can seek justice and compensation for their suffering.
