Introduction
The area of law that is covers the majority of all civil laws. Essentially, every claim that arises in civil court with the exception of contractual disputes falls under tort law. The concept of tort law is to correct a wrong done to a person, usually by awarding them financial damages as compensation. Tort law can be split into three categories:
1. Negligent torts
2. Intentional torts
3. Strict liability
Negligent torts encompass harm done to people generally through the failure of another to exercise a certain level of care. Accidents are a good example of negligent torts.
On the other hand, Intentional torts refer to harms done to people intentionally by the willful misconduct of another, such as assault, fraud and theft.
Strict liability torts are not concerned with the fault of the person doing the harm. Instead, strict liability focuses on the act itself: if someone commits a certain act then that person is responsible for the damages from that act regardless of the level of care exercised or their intentions.
On the other hand, the contract law is the body of law that governs oral and written agreements associated with exchange of goods and services, money, and properties. It include such as the nature of contractual obligations, limitation of actions, freedom of contract, privities of contract, termination of contract, and covers also agency
