Understanding Tort Law Basics
Summary
Tort law deals with civil wrongs and compensation, focusing on duty of care and intentional torts like defamation. The neighbor principle establishes a legal duty based on proximity, while the Caparo test assesses duty of care through foreseeability, proximity, and fairness. Negligence aims to compensate for unintended harm, with the reasonable man standard assessing breach of duty. Understanding these principles can help navigate legal issues related to personal safety and integrity.Full Conversation
