tortfeasors

A tortfeasor is a person or entity that commits a legal wrong, known as a tort, which causes harm or injury to another. In legal terms, this means they are responsible for their actions that result in someone else suffering damages—such as physical injury, property loss, or emotional distress. The injured party can seek compensation through a civil lawsuit. Essentially, a tortfeasor is the responsible party who has unlawfully caused harm, and they may be held liable for damages in court.
