Torts involve civil wrongs that breach a duty owed to someone else, unlike criminal acts which breach duties to society. The injured party can sue the tortfeasor for damages. Legal injuries include physical, emotional, economic, and reputational harm. Torts are categorized as negligence, intentional, or statutory. Negligence torts involve failing to use reasonable care. Intentional torts arise from land use or include false imprisonment and defamation. Statutory torts are enacted by legislatures regarding areas like consumer protection or workplace safety. To prove liability, the plaintiff must show the defendant breached a duty of care owed and caused damages.
