  • A tort (originally from the Old French, meaning "wrong", from medieval Latin tortum, also meaning "wrong", past participle of torquere "to twist") is a wrong that involves a breach of a civil duty owed to someone else. It is differentiated from criminal wrongdoing which involves a breach of a duty owed to society, and also does not include breach of contract. Tort cases may comprise such topics as auto accidents, false imprisonment, slander and libel, product liability (such as defectively designed consumer products), and environmental pollution.
