TORTS & PERSONAL INJURY

A civil wrong, other than breach of contract, for which a remedy may be obtained in the form of damages.

A tort is a breach of duty from one person (or business) to another for which the law may provide a remedy.  There are many different kinds of torts of both a personal and business nature, including battery, car wrecks, personal injury, defamation, negligence, etc.

Basic negligence requires a showing of four things: (1) that the person owed you a duty of care; (2) that the person breached that duty; (3) that the breach was the legal cause of harm; (4) harm.

Often in our society people and businesses may breach duties, but they breach doesn't result in harm; other times victims may not fully understand or quantify the harm they have incurred.  Further, people and business often have insurance covering breaches in duty.  Understanding the law and your rights in either bringing or defending a tort claim can be complex, and may sometimes result in an unfortunate reality that there is limited remedy available.
