LAW OF TORTS

The law of torts addresses civil wrongs where one person's actions cause harm to another. It includes negligence (failing to exercise reasonable care), intentional torts (deliberate acts causing harm, like assault or trespass), strict liability (liability without fault for dangerous activities), defamation (false statements harming reputation), and nuisance (interference with property use). Remedies typically involve damages, injunctions, and restitution, while common defenses include consent, self-defense, and contributory negligence.
