condition. Two common examples of these types of torts include (i) a "slip and fall" accident and (ii)
an injury one receives from a crime committed on another’s property (e.g. being mugged or assaulted
in a private parking garage where the owner of the garage knew that people were getting mugged all
the time – and did nothing to prevent further muggings).
3. These types of torts involve injuries one can receive due to the mistake of a licensed professional
(i.e. a doctor, a lawyer or a dentist). Generally, these types of torts require the "expert" testimony of a
professional (e.g. another doctor in a medical malpractice case).
4. These types of torts involve injuries one can receive from a "product" such as a machine, medical
device or a prescription drug. The injured person must prove that
the product in question was
improperly designed, constructed or packaged without the proper regard for the damage it could cause
to a human being.
5. These types of torts involve injuries one can receive from something another says or writes which is
untrue, malicious and/or private. These defamation torts include (i) slander (spoken word), (ii) libel
(written word) and (iii) invasion of privacy (making something public which was and should have
remained very private).
6. These types of torts generally involve one person physically attacking another person. These are
also sometimes called "intentional torts" to distinguish them from most other torts (which usually
involve an accident resulting from another's mistake or lack of care).
7. This is also another type of intentional tort.
This involves one person lying, misrepresenting or
concealing an important piece of information from another person in order to get that other person to
do or refrain from doing something. In short, a plaintiff is tricked by the fraudulent act of the
defendant.
