A tort, in common law jurisdictions, is a civil wrong[1] that unfairly causes someone else to suffer loss or harm resulting in legal liability for the person who commits the tortious act.
Understanding the difference between crimes and torts is important because the law treats them in different ways. TORTS: A tort is a wrongful act that injures or interferes with another's person or property. A tort case is a civil court proceeding. The accused is the defendant and the victim is a plaintiff.. The charges are brought by the plaintiff. If the defendant loses, the defendant has to pay damages to the plaintiff. CRIMES: A crime is a wrongful act that the state or federal government has identified as a crime.
