Torts

Posted on March 26, 2009 by Brien Roche

A tort is a civil wrong that is not based upon a contract. If, for example, a person runs a red light and strikes your vehicle (which is lawfully in the intersection), then you could sue that person civilly for the tort of having run the red light. That tort action does not arise out of any contract between you and the other person.
