Yes, the consequences between intentional and unintentional torts may differ. Intentional torts involve actions done on purpose to harm someone or their property, which can result in punitive damages. Unintentional torts involve accidental harm caused by negligence or carelessness, which may result in compensatory damages for losses incurred.
An unintentional tort is what most torts are. The opposite of an intentional tort-something that is done on accident that seriously injures or kills another person but can be linked to negligence.
The main difference is in the intention behind the actions. Intentional torts are committed purposefully to harm or interfere with someone's rights, while negligence involves a failure to exercise reasonable care that results in harm. Intentional torts require intent, while negligence does not.
An example of an intentional tort is assault, where someone intentionally threatens or causes harm to another person. This differs from negligence, which is the unintentional failure to exercise reasonable care, in that intentional torts involve deliberate actions to cause harm.
An intentional tort is something that is done with directed intent. Basically, something someone does to hurt someone intentionally as opposed to accidentally-which would be a tort of negligence. The article below goes into more detail about intentional torts and the various types.

You actually approach torts of negligence and intentional torts in much the same way. you still have to prove the four main elements of any tort. Beyond that-for an intentional tort-you must prove that it was intentional rather than negligent but that would be the only difference.
