Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Torts are a type of civil wrong that arise from a violation of a private duty, as opposed to a public or contractual duty. A private duty is owed to an individual, rather than to society as a whole or to a contractual agreement. For example, negligence is a common tort that arises when someone breaches their duty of care to another person, causing them harm.
