The Law of Tort
A tort is a civil wrong, tort is a French word for wrong, or the Latin word (tortum or twisted), a tort occurs when a person commits a civil wrong against another person causing them damage. Tortfeasor is the person who commits the tort. Under tort law, an injured party can bring a civil case to seek compensation for a wrong done to the party or the party's property.
Simply put, the law of tort is a branch of law which helps people to make a claim for compensation "usually a money payment" from another person who hurts them or their property. For instance, when one driver hurts another driver because he or she was not paying attention "negligent", the driver who caused the hurt "defendant" may have committed a tort.
If a person "plaintiff" is hurt by another person "defendant" they may be able to sue them "civil litigation" and get compensation "usually money". Most torts are accidents, like car accidents or slippery floors where people can fall down and get hurt. But some torts are done on purpose. These are called intentional torts.
For example, if one person punches another person, this could be an intentional tort called battery.Most torts cause physical harm to people, however, some torts cause damage to property, like a broken window "trespass to property". Some torts can harm other things, like someone's reputation or a business. "defamation".

From the Author:
My books, Layman's Guide to Irish Law addresses the issue of legal terminology for new students and laypersons, if you are new to law or just newly interested in law you may be turned off quickly due to the terminology, jargon and principles used in law. I include topics and principles of law which are the most challenging in my easy to use and easy to comprehend guides. There is recommended reading and also bibliography. I offer guidance on topics and general explanations of principles.
This publication is not written for the those who are already in years two or three of legal studies, but rather for those who wish to embark on legal study or those just interested in obtaining legal knowledge. In writing this book, I wanted to bring the fascinating and interesting topic of law to everyone, to make it easy to read and understand and from there decide if this is a career choice for them or a realistic study option.
As you embark on your own legal journey, I invite you to consider Sherlock Holmes wise words: "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?." You can visit my webpage at teresaclyne.com
