What is a tort
A tort is a private or civil wrong or injury (other than breach of contract) for which a court of law may provide a remedy through a lawsuit for damages (compensation). When somebody violates his/her duty to others created under general (or statutory) law, a tort has been committed.
The four elements present in a typical tort lawsuit are:
(1) The presence of a legal duty owed by a person to others
(2) The breach of the duty by one person (negligence)
(3) The breach of the duty being the "proximate cause" of damages suffered by a person
(4) Damages incurred by a person.
Each of the four types of a tort typically should be available to be compensated.
