A contract is a legally binding agreement. Torts, otherwise known as 'civil wrongs' allow the wronged party to claim damages against the 'guilty' party. The most common tort is probably negligence, and others include trespass and defamation.
The similarities between contract law and tort law include both being branches of civil law that deal with obligations and responsibilities between parties. However, the key difference is that contract law is based on voluntary agreements between parties, while tort law involves wrongful acts that result in harm or loss to another party without a previous agreement.
Contract law, Tort law and Business law are all full-year courses at law schools with advanced courses in each area available in senior years. Your question is huge. Put very very simply: Contract law is about agreements between persons that create mutual obligations. I offer you $1000 for your car and you accept. That's a contract. Tort law is about one person's duty of care for another's welfare. You accidentally hit me with your car. That's a Tort. In business, a company is a person and is subject to both Contract and Tort law. (and criminal, civil rights, employment, tax and many many other laws)
A breach of contractual duty is not considered a tort, but rather a breach of contract. Tort law deals with civil wrongs that cause harm to individuals or property, while contract law involves violations of agreements between parties.

There is really only one main difference between and intentional tort and negligent tort. An intentional tort would be an injury caused by an intentional act by another. A negligent tort however, is one that is an accidental injury caused by negligence.
