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.
To successfully sue a defendant liable for an intentional tort, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant performed the action leading to the damages the plaintiff alleges, and that the defendant acted with purpose, or that he had knowledge with substantial certainty that an act would result in a tortious result.
