Generally, by definition, a tort is any wrongful action, not arising out of contractual obligations, for which damages may be sought. Tort law is a body of law that defines and addresses civil negligence, injury and compensation for the resulting damages.
Examples of tort actions are: civil suits for damages resulting from an assault; injuries from dog bites; injuries from car accidents; fraud; defamation; nuisance; breach of fiduciary duty; trespass; product liability.
If a plaintiff wins an award in a tort action a judgment lien that can be recorded in the land records will be issued by the court. Once that lien is recorded, the property of the defendant cannot be sold or refinanced until the lien is paid. The plaintiff can force the sale of the real property to get their money.
