How is tort best defined? What are the three broad categories of torts? How
might you define each variety? - Answer✔️✔️-A tort is a wrongful injury to
a person or a person's property. The three broad categories of torts are:
negligent actions (failure to exercise ordinary care), intentional actions
(intentional acts causing injuries), and strict liability ( liability for injury
regardless of negligence, intent, or fault).
What is negligence? How might you distinguish it from intentional torts? -
Answer✔️✔️-Negligence is failure to ecercise due care under the
circumstances. Due care is based upon what the reasonably prudent person
would do in the same circumstances. Intentional torts, on the other hand,
are acts that done intentionally and that result in harm to the victim.
What are intentional torts? What are examples of intentional torts? -
Answer✔️✔️-Intentional torts are in injuries that the tortfeasor intentionally
inflicts upon others or their property. Examples are battery, assault, etc.
How might you define strict (absolute) liability? What is the most
important type of strict liability? - Answer✔️✔️-Strict liability is liability for
injuring others regardless of intent, negligence, or fault. Strict liability
generally arises when the activities engaged in by tortfeasor are
abnormally hazardous. Products liability is the most "important" type of
strict liability and the area in which litigation arises the most.
