Intentional Harm to a Person or Property

One type of personal injury involves the purposeful behavior of one person against another with the intention of harming that person or that person's property. The perpetrator of such an act has committed an intentional tort and is liable for any damages caused by the act. In general, intentional torts are divided into two categories: Intentional torts against people (such as assault) and intentional torts against property (such as trespass). The following list includes some of the most common types of intentional torts. Simply click on the topic in which you are interested and you will be linked to further information:
