Tort law is different from criminal law in that: (1) torts may result from negligent as well as intentional or criminal actions and (2) tort lawsuits have a lower burden of proof such as preponderance of evidence rather than beyond a reasonable doubt.
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of foot arch pain. It is usually painful after activity or prolonged rest e.g. first thing in the morning. Find out more including how to treat and prevent the condition in the Plantar Fasciitis section.
Inflammation of the tendons that pass along the foot can also cause pain in the arch. The two most commonly injured tendons that cause arch pain are the tibialis posterior and the peroneal tendons. These tendons start in the leg, course behind the ankle, and then to the underside of the foot.
