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.
There are four elements to tort law: duty, breach of the duty, causation, and injury. In order to claim damages there must be a breach in the duty of the defendant to the plaintiff which results in injury to the plaintiff. The three main types of torts are negligence, strict liability, and intentional torts.
