Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tort law addresses situations in which a party has suffered a loss or harm due to the actions of another party, and wants to collect damages to compensate for that loss. Torts may include actions for negligence or intentional harm, but they are all governed by the principles of liability for causing harm to another. Punitive damages may be awarded in some cases to punish the responsible party or deter others from similar behavior, but they are not the primary purpose of tort law.
