  1. Intentional torts‐ a part of tort legislation  https://www.lezdotechmed.com/blog/personal‐injury/intentional‐torts/  When someone knowingly hurts or injures you, this is known as an intentional tort. This includes  anything that causes damage to your person or property.  Intentionaltorts  Intentional torts Intentional torts‐ a part of tort legislation  https://www.lezdotechmed.com/blog/personal‐injury/intentional‐torts/  A wide variety of personal injury claims can be included in tort lawsuits, which comprise the most  significant subset of civil litigation. Strict liability, intentional torts, and negligence torts are the three  main categories. There are numerous intentional torts and defenses that might be presented in a  lawsuit. You may fight for the financial compensation you deserve with the advice of an expert personal  injury attorney and proper medical records (if needed).  Most civil matters are dealt with under the law known as tort law. Most claims brought before a civil  court, except contractual disputes, fall under the purview of tort law. Tort law attempts to protect  people from the wrongdoings of others and to make up for mistakes that have been committed against  them. Typically, this is accomplished by paying the victim monetary damages as compensation. To  compensate victims of harm that could be demonstrated, tort law's fundamental intent was to be used.  For example, when a negligent driver causes a car accident, the defendant (the driver) fails to operate  the vehicle sensibly and safely, which results in the accident. In this situation, the plaintiff (the accident  victim) would qualify for cash compensation for their injuries.  When a person or organization consciously engages in an action that hurts or damages another, this is  known as an intentional tort.  Punching someone during a fight, for example, would be deemed an intentional act and susceptible to  the intentional tort; however, hitting someone accidentally would not be considered "intentional"  because there was no desire to harm the individual (however, this act may be considered negligent if  the person hit was injured).  Assault, Battery, False imprisonment, Conversion, Intentional infliction of emotional distress,  Fraud/deceit, Trespass (to land and property), and Defamation are the seven intentional torts.  You may be eligible for monetary compensation in the following ways if someone intentionally hurts  you, a loved one, or your property: medical expenses, upcoming medical costs, destruction of property,  loss of earnings potential, Pain and suffering, or loss of companionship.  The statute of limitations for deliberate tort lawsuits is usually two years, as opposed to one year for  negligence claims. There are several exceptions to this general rule, and by outlining the different  exemptions, your personal injury attorney may be able to assist you in choosing when to file your claim.
