Torts

No, it isn't. It's hardly even a terroristic threat, really, although you could stretch it. An assault involves something a little more personal and painful.

If you are such an amazing standout talent that you don't need an agent, then you wouldn't have any trouble finding one. The fact that you think it's hard indicates that you're, realistically, never going to be on the Disney channel.

Sorry, but if it was easy to be a star, who would dig ditches?

If you are hurt on the job or develop an illness that is related to your work, you can file a claim for worker's compensation. Each state has different requirements on time limitations and payments.

Most acts which could produce criminal liability can also produce civil liability (making them torts).

This is because tort law and criminal law serve entirely different purposes: criminal law exists to punish wrongdoers for their acts, and focuses on a person's moral culpability.

Tort law, on the other hand, exists simply to compensate the victims of wrongdoing for their injuries.

So, suppose Al punches Bob in the face. Al has committed both a crime and a tort - in this case, they are both called "battery"

The state could bring criminal charges against Al for battery, and punish him with fines and jail time. However, the criminal court has no authority to compensate Bob for his injuries.

However, Bob could sue Al for the tort of battery. In such a case, if Bob won the lawsuit, Al would be required to compensate Bob for his injuries, by paying medical expenses, and possibly by paying for whatever pain, suffering, and emotional distress Al experienced.

As another example, suppose that somebody is murdered.

The murderer would by brought up on criminal charges by the state. Again, the purpose of this would be to punish him.

However, the family of the murder victim could also bring a lawsuit against the murderer for wrongful death, in which they could be compensated for the victim's lost wages, their pain and suffering, and the loss of the victim's companionship.

There is no such thing as mixing civil and criminal actions in the same court action. If criminal charges arise as a result of a civil case action they will be charged and prosecuted seperately from the civil trial.

The customer is known as a business invitee and is owed a very high degree of care that no injury due to the business owner's negligence befall the customer.

I believe you may be referring to: "DAMNUM ABSQUE INJURIA" which means a loss or damage without injury. Examples from: http://www.lectlaw.com/def/d101.htm One man may cause a damage or loss to another, for which the latter has no remedy. He is then said to have received 'damnum absque injuria.' For example, if a man sets up a business in the neighborhood of another identical business, and by doing so, deprives the latter of its patronage.

Another instance might be where a man excavates a foundation with proper care and diligence, but injures an adjoining house due to the unsuitable materials used in constructing that house, the injury is 'damnum absque injuria.' Another: When a man slanders another by publishing the truth about that person then the slandered person is said to have suffered loss without injury.

It means the person who filed the motion did not appear at the hearing to prove their charges/case, and therefore the motion was dismissed either with or without prejudice.

A tort is a civil wrong (as opposed to a criminal offense), for which there is a legal remedy for the harm it caused.

Tort law is law created through judges (common law) and by legislatures (statutory law). The primary aim of tort law is to provide relief for the damages incurred and to deter others from committing the same harm.

Strict liability makes a person responsible for the damage and loss caused by his/her acts and omissions regardless of culpability (or fault in criminal law terms, which would normally be expressed through a mens rea requirement; see Strict liability (criminal)). Strict liability is important in torts (especially product liability), corporations law, and criminal law. For analysis of the pros and cons of strict liability as applied to product liability, the most important strict liability regime,

Because if you don't there is a strong likliehood that you will lose your case.

A"tort" is a civil wrong. Therefore, the case would take place in civil court.

That is when you intentionally lie to person about the potency of an object that the person depends on, which put the person at a detriment because the depended on the objects performance. If you tell someone that a crane can lift 10000 pounds, and he buys the crane knowing that he has to carry 9000, but in fact the crane only lifts 1000 pounds, that person can sue you on the basis of the tort of deceit.

Civil liability may be reduced by obtaining a liability claim sheet from your local attorney at law, filling it out, and submitting it to the local director of the courthouse or even a judge that is currently presiding.

[if the questioner is actually asking about "Informed CONSENT - see discussion page]

WHAT type of complaint? If it is a violation of his ethics code, contact your State Bar Association. If it is a criminal complaint, report the offense to law enforcement. If a civil complaint, sue him.

The classic unintentional tort, in any field, is negligence. Negligence is an unintentional tort because the tortfeasor does not intend to cause harm, but, through careless behavior, does cause harm.

In the medical field, negligence is generally called "malpractice" - when a doctor or other medical professional fails to exercise the proper skill, judgment, or care expected of such a professional, and through this failure, causes injury to a patient.

An intentional tort in the medical field could include any intentional tort that someone can commit outside the medical field - such as assault, battery, false imprisonment, fraud, etc.

An example of battery that could conceivably be committed by a doctor would be the doctor performing an operation that the patient did not consent to.

One of the most popular hackers' arguments is that "electrons are free--they do not belong to anybody."

veredictum

Civil liability is a way for two people who disagree on something to have it settled by a magistrate. Because of court costs, it only usually happens when there's real money or property involved and the two parties can not come to an understanding on their own.

Most often, a 'lawsuit' is filed simply to scare the other person into conceding their point. It costs very little to have a lawyer draw up a document claiming to be in the process of filing papers for court.

I would recommend a company called LawLeaf.

Another great choice would be Hopkins Lawsuit Funding.

Nope. It is very edible and quite tasty. just make sure you identify it with 100% certainty, then enjoy it as part of a yummyy salad.
