Tort may be defined as a personal injury; or as "a civil action other than a breach of contract."
A person who suffers a tortious injury is entitled to receive "damages", usually monetary compensation, from the person or people responsible - or liable - for those injuries. Tort law defines what is a legal injury and, therefore, whether a person may be held liable for an injury they have caused. Legal injuries are not limited to physical injuries. They may also include emotional, economic, or reputational injuries as well as violations of privacy, property, or constitutional rights. Tort cases therefore comprise such varied topics as auto accidents, false imprisonment, defamation, product liability (for defective consumer products), copyright infringement, and environmental pollution (toxic torts), among many others.
