What is tort?  What is tort law?

A tort is a non-contractual, non-criminal wrongdoing. Tort law, in common legal parlance, is a body of law that deals with civil wrongdoings. The definition of this kind of wrong is usually distinct from a criminal wrong. A person who suffers legal damage may be able to use tort law to receive damages (usually monetary compensation) from someone who is responsible or liable for those injuries.
