Background:

Generally, a tort is a wrong to individual, whether you were struck by an automobile, you go to a doctor or lawyer for professional services and those services are not performed to a proper standard, or you purchase a refrigerator that blows up resulting in injury.

Some of the main purposes of tort law are to:

• compensate a person for unreasonable harm done to him or her. In other words, to make him or her whole again. In reality, this is sometimes not possible, but the goal is clear;
• provide peaceful means for adjusting rights of parties who might otherwise take the law into their own hands;
• encourage socially responsible behavior;
• deter risky / wrongful conduct;
• cause a person who in best position to control actions, take more care; and
• be fair.

The three basic types of tort liability are:

1. intentional torts such as assault and battery, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress;

2. negligent torts such as most automobile accidents and professional malpractice; and

3. strict liability such as injuries caused by dangerous activities.

Additionally, when injury results from a defective product, or one that fails to meet certain standards, you may have a valid claim in Product Liability based upon any of negligence, warranty (merchantability), or strict liability theories.
