Courts and Society
A tort is a civil wrong that causes harm or loss to another person, leading to legal liability for the person who commits the tortious act. Unlike criminal offenses, which are prosecuted by the state, torts are typically pursued through civil litigation, where the injured party seeks compensation for damages. The concept of tort law is fundamental in civil law systems, which emphasize the protection of individuals' rights and the provision of remedies for those harmed by the actions of others.
