What is the definition of tort law?

Tort law is broken into three categories:

• Intentional tort – the Defendant knew or should have known, that the injury could occur as a result of his/her actions or inactions.
• Negligent tort – Defendant was unaware that an injury could occur as a result of his/her actions, and at the same time, Defendant was not acting in a safe manner.
• Strict liability tort – a specific action caused the damages rather than the lack of care on the defendant’s part.
