BUS 206 Project Three – Tort Law
New Hampshire University
A tort is an act or omission that gives rise to injury or harm to another and amounts to a
civil wrong for which courts impose liability (Team, 2019). Tort law have been established to
provide relief to an injured parties due to harm cause, hold parties responsible, and hopefully
stop others from repeating the act.
A tort helps shift accountability from the injured part o the person actually at fault,
or possibly someone who is better suited to bear the burden of loss. Typically monetary
compensation is seeked in tort cases. Other remedies that are not as common are injunction
and restitution.
Tort law has specific boundaries defined by state statues and common law. As a Judge
they have a wide latitude in determining which actions are legally found as wrongs, which
actually are legally wrong is he larger picture. According to Cornell Law School, torts fall into
three general categories:
Intentional tort (intentionally hitting a person)
Negligent Torts (causing an accident by failing to obey traffic rules)
Strict Liability (liability for making and selling a defective product)
The law acknowledges torts civil wrong doings and allows people to recover for their
losses. In a tort case if you are injured you can bring suit against the person. Typically looking
for monetary compensation or for an injunction, this should compel the agitator to stop the
activity. The Court can award damages to deter further misconduct.
The case we reviewed spoke about a snake getting out from Dave Dawgs and it slithered
into Sunshine Yoga. A frightened yoga studio owner, Jasmine subsequently had a heart attack.
This is an example of intentional tort. While Dave didn’t didn’t actually mean harm it is still
example.
