A tort, in common law jurisdictions, is a civil wrong[1] that unfairly causes someone else to suffer loss or harm resulting in legal liability for the person who commits the tortious act.
There are two parties in a civil action involving a tort claim: the plaintiff, or injured party, and the tortfeasor or defendant, the negligent party. Elements of a tort action state that the tortfeasor or defendant had a duty to act or behave in a certain way.
