Answer:-

A tort lawsuit is a legal action taken when someone believes they have suffered harm due to another person’s actions or negligence. It typically involves civil wrongs like personal injury, defamation, or property damage. The person filing the lawsuit (the plaintiff) seeks compensation or other remedies for the harm caused, which could include medical bills, lost wages, or emotional distress. Unlike criminal cases, tort lawsuits are focused on compensating the victim rather than punishing the wrongdoer. Common types of torts include negligence, intentional infliction of harm, and strict liability. The outcome depends on proving fault and damages.
