Tort refers to a civil wrong that causes harm or loss to an individual or their property, for which the person who committed the wrongful act can be held legally liable. This can include intentional acts, such as assault or defamation, as well as negligent actions that result in harm, like a car accident. The purpose of tort law is to compensate the victim for their losses and to deter others from engaging in similar harmful conduct.
