A civil injury or wrongful act committed against another person or property that results in harm and is compensated by money damages is known as a tort. Torts can arise from various actions, including negligence, intentional wrongdoing, or strict liability. The injured party can seek monetary compensation for damages suffered as a result of the tortious act. Common examples include personal injury claims, defamation, and property damage.

Can a bank reclaim a house after you took it by adverse possessionAnd if so are you responsible for any liens on the property And or would you be compensated for any improvements that was made?

You need to provide more details. In most jurisdictions you must perfect a claim of adverse possession by some sort of court decree. If you improved property that you didn't own then you were a volunteer and have no right to be compensated for the improvements. It sounds like you were dwelling in a house that was covered by a mortgage that has been foreclosed. If that is correct, the bank's interest is superior to yours. The owner of the property is responsible for any liens against the property.
