Torts
are civil wrongs recognized by law as grounds for a lawsuit. These wrongs result in an injury or harm constituting the
basis for a claim by the injured party. While some torts are also crimes punishable with imprisonment, the primary aim
of tort law is to provide relief for the damages incurred and deter others from committingthe same harms. The injured
person may sue for an injunction to prevent the continuation of the tortious conduct or for monetary damages.
