tortious liability

Tortious liability refers to legal responsibility for causing harm or loss to another person through negligence, intentional acts, or strict liability. If someone’s actions result in injury, damage, or unfair disadvantage to someone else, they can be held liable in a court of law. This liability aims to compensate the harmed party and encourage responsible behavior. Examples include car accidents, defamation, or product defects. Essentially, tortious liability ensures that those who cause harm are accountable and may need to provide financial redress for the damages caused.
