The Elements of a Tort
When an individual is injured because of the actions of another person, it can have serious consequences: emotional and physical pain, financial loss from costly medical bills and missed work, and even possibly lifestyle changes. In order to compensate for this damage, injured individuals may wish to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. This falls under a category of law known as “tort” law.
If you or someone you know has been injured due to the recklessness or negligence of another, you should not have to deal with the consequences alone.

Four Elements of a Tort
Generally speaking, a tort is a wrong that involves a breach of civil duty owed to another individual. For a person to have a viable case, the following must all be true:
- One party had a civil duty to another
- This duty was breached
- An injury occurred
- The breach of civil duty must have caused or partially caused the injury
With the assistance of a skilled legal representative, you may be able to secure compensation for your injury-related losses from the responsible party.
