What are the different types of torts?

Torts are civil wrongs that cause harm or loss to an individual and can result in a legal liability for the person who commits them. There are three main types of torts: intentional torts, negligence torts, and strict liability torts. Intentional torts are actions that are deliberately committed to cause harm, such as assault, battery, or fraud. Negligence torts occur when a person fails to exercise reasonable care in a situation, resulting in harm to another person. Strict liability torts apply when a person is held responsible for harm caused by their actions, regardless of intent or negligence. These types of torts cover a wide range of behaviors and situations where one party may be held accountable for causing harm to another.
