what are 3 different kinds of torts in regards to law.?

Question

I need to understand what the different kinds of torts are to give examples

Answer 1

First category are intentional torts. These generally parallel the common law crimes -- assault, battery, tresspass to land, tresspass to chattel, conversion, etc.

After that, there are different ways to group them. But I've never seen it break down into just three categories.

One way has the negligence variants as a category. Pure negligence, products liability negligence, NIED, nuisance, etc. Then the privacy torts as a category: defamation, false light, intrusion on seclusion, public disclosure, false appropration. Then the products liability category (breach of warranty, failure to warn, SL, etc.). Then other stuff.

Another way categorizes them by the type of harm. Harm to real property (nuisance), intangible harm to the person (privacy, IIED, malicious prosecution), and other tangible harms (strict liability and products liability).

If your teacher has broken them into three categories, that's not something I've seen before.

Answer 2

Kinds Of Torts

Answer 3

There are more than 3. The main one is negligence, there's also product liability, defamation, nuicense, tresspass, false imprisonment and a couple of other ones I can't think of (it's been a while since I've had torts).
Examples are:
Negligance-- medical malpractice
Product Liability-- Firestone Tires blowing up
Defemation-- Saying someone has an STD and spreading that fact.
Trespass-- exercising possesion of another's property or chattle
Fasle imprisonment-- Mall security holding someone suspected of shoplifting against their will
etc.....

Answer 4

tort
n. from French for "wrong," a civil wrong or wrongful act, whether intentional or accidental, from which injury occurs to another. Torts include all negligence cases as well as intentional wrongs which result in harm. Therefore tort law is one of the major areas of law (along with contract, real property and criminal law) and results in more civil litigation than any other category. Some intentional torts may also be crimes, such as assault, battery, wrongful death, fraud, conversion (a euphemism for theft) and trespass on property and form the basis for a lawsuit for damages by the injured party. Defamation, including intentionally telling harmful untruths about another-either by print or broadcast (libel) or orally (slander)-is a tort and used to be a crime as well

Answer 5

Battery- a harmful or offensive contact on the person of another (i.e. if you go up and smack someone in the face)

Deffamation of character- when you slander someone (i.e. A goes up to B and says, "C cheated on his wife" and C never did)

Negligence- where a person with a duty of care has caused harm to a person to whom he owes a duty. (i.e. A Burger King employee just mopped the floor of the Burger King restaurant, but forgot to put up the "wet floor" sign. Mrs. X comes into the restaurant, slips on the floor, and breaks her leg. Burger King owed a duty of care to Mrs X to warn her that the floor was wet so that Mrs X could avoid the slippery floor. Because they failed to carry out that duty, they caused harm to Mrs. X.)
