A tort is defined as a civil wrong, other than a breach of contract, that causes harm to another and allows them to seek damages. There are three main types of torts: intentional torts which involve intentionally harming another, negligence torts which involve failing to use reasonable care and causing unintentional harm, and strict liability torts where a defendant is legally responsible for harm regardless of fault. The two main remedies for a tort are damages to compensate for harm suffered and injunctions to prevent future harm, with damages being the most common remedy.
