Introduction
In tort law, individuals can make claims whenever they suffer harm. The law awards damages when a successful plaintiff can demonstrate that the defendant was the leading cause of the losses or harm he suffered. There are various torts, such as intentional torts, negligent torts, and strict liability torts. One of the essential aspects of any organization, employer, or individual must understand the liability created by their employers.[1] Through the tort law legislation, people can gain relief from any form of harm that they suffered. The parties that are deemed to have caused the losses or harm take liability. Another application of tort law is to safeguard others from committing similar harmful actions.[2] A business can protect itself from incurring liability through proper legal suits by understanding its responsibility and role in a particular activity.
