Personal injury law revolves around torts. Torts are acts, or failures to act, that interfere with somebody's freedom to enjoy their personal and property rights. Torts can be based on negligence or strict liability. Another type is called a willful tort, an intentional wrong. That could be assault, battery, illegally invading a person's privacy, or intentionally inflicting emotional distress on another person. If you are considering a lawsuit based on a tort, you must act promptly. The statute of limitations for bringing cases based on torts is often quite short. In some states, it's only a year. If you feel you need legal help, please consult a licensed personal injury law attorney immediately.
