TORTS
CIVIL AND PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY
Torts are civil wrongs recognized by law as grounds for a lawsuit. These wrongs may result in an injury or harm constituting the basis for a claim by the injured party. While some torts are also crimes punishable with imprisonment, the primary aim of tort law is to provide relief for the damages incurred. The injured person may sue for an injunction to prevent the continuation of the tortious conduct or for monetary damages, which may include both present and future expected losses. Among the types of damages, the injured party may recover are: medical malpractice, loss of potential earnings, pain and suffering, and reasonable medical expenses.
