Intentional torts are civil law violations that involve intentional acts by the defendant. These are distinguished from violations that are accidental, such as those involving negligence. Intentional torts include acts like: assault, battery, theft, property damage, invasion of privacy, slander/defamation, and other acts.
Civil tort claims may be classified into three basic categories: Intentional torts, negligence, and strict liability torts. Each of these is associated with different standards of proof, remedies, and defenses. The vast majority of tort claims are based on negligence.
