Tort law covers a wide spectrum of civil wrongs, including cases of personal injury, defamation, negligence, and intentional misconduct. It’s the legal avenue for individuals to seek compensation when they’ve been wronged or hurt by someone else’s actions.

Personal Injury: These cases involve physical or emotional harm caused by accidents or intentional actions, such as car accidents, slip and falls, or medical malpractice. 

Defamation: This includes cases where false statements harm someone’s reputation, whether through spoken words (slander) or written ones (libel). 

Negligence: Instances where someone’s careless actions cause harm, like accidents on another’s property or product-related injuries. 

Intentional Torts: Cases where someone purposefully harms another, such as assault, fraud, or trespassing.
