Types of Torts in Tarrant County, Texas

A tortious act is one that causes harm to another person. The individual who was injured as a result of the tort, may then file a lawsuit against the wrongdoer in civil court for damages. In Tarrant County, Texas, anyone who harms another, such as in a car accident or by neglecting to take some action to prevent injury, may be held liable for their actions or inaction.

Typically, there are three main types of torts, which include intentional torts, negligence, and strict liability. Just as it sounds, an intentional tort is something a person purposely does to another. For instance, an act of battery or assault could be considered an intentional tort. In these cases, not only can these acts be charged in a criminal court, but the victim may also sue the defendant for damages.

Torts involving negligence are common in cases such as car accidents, slip and fall accidents, and medical malpractice lawsuits. Though cases of this type may not have been intentional, the plaintiff is still entitled to sue for damages. Finally, strict liability torts commonly refer to cases such as animal attacks, abnormally dangerous activities, and defective products. A strict liability tort may place liability on a defendant without proof of direct fault or negligence.

If you have been harmed by another person, it may be possible to sue him or her for damages. There are excellent attorneys in Tarrant County, Texas, and all are at your fingertips with LegalMatch and our attorney–matching database.
