	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Tort (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Tort law is distinguished from the law of contract, the law of restitution, and the criminal law.
		The law of torts therefore aims to restore the injured person to the position he or she was in before the tort was committed (the expectation or rightful position principle).
		Intentional torts are any intentional acts that are reasonably foreseeable to cause harm to an individual, and that do so.

	Theories of Tort Law
		In the case of torts, the plaintiff is the victim of an alleged wrong and the unsuccessful defendant is either directed by the court to pay damages to the plaintiff (the usual remedy) or else to desist from the wrongful activity (so-called "injunctive relief").
		Tort law imposes a duty of repair, and while it is true that a person who is under a duty to act is constrained in the set of actions open to him, duties are neither punishments nor sanctions.
		In contrast with tort law, criminal wrongdoers are subject to punishment for their crimes, and while this means that they are not at liberty to prevent others from punishing them, they have no duty to be punished or to permit others to punish them.

		Parental liability is the term used to refer to a parent's obligation to pay for damage done by negligent, intentional, or criminal acts of that parent's child.
		Hawaii was the first state to enact such legislation in 1846, and its law remains one of the most broadly applied in that it does not limit the financial bounds of recovery and imposes liability for both negligent and intentional torts by underage persons.
		Homeowner's policies typically cover legal liability in the event that anyone suffers an injury while on the insured property, even if the injury was committed by another household member or the result of NEGLIGENCE on the part of the policyholder.

	Home Life Health Auto Car Insurance
		To reduce their own financial exposure, insurance companies have contractual clauses that mitigate their obligation to provide coverage if the insured engages in some kind of behavior that grossly magnifies their risk of loss or liability.
		For example, liability insurance providers do not provide coverage for liability arising from intentional torts committed by the insured.
		Even if a provider was irrational enough to try to provide such coverage, it is against the public policy of most countries to allow such insurance to exist, and thus it is usually illegal.
