What is a tort?

A tort is a negligent action that causes harm to another person. Tort law governs liability for preventable injuries. It addresses and provides litigation for the wrongdoings of an individual, group, or entity that harms someone else. This is most often thought of in personal injury cases where negligence causes suffering. For example, when a car accident occurs due to a reckless driver’s choices, that driver can be held liable for the expenses and pain and suffering that resulted from the accident.

If you or someone you love has been the victim of a car accident, the Queens car accident lawyers of Parker Waichman, LLP may be able to get you the compensation you deserve. Contact us today by calling 888-244-2273.
