A person suffering legal damage may be able to use tort law to receive compensation for those injuries from someone who is legally responsible or liable. The term tort is the French equivalent of the English word “wrong” and of the Roman law term “delict”. The word tort is derived from the Latin word “tortum” which means twisted or crooked or wrong. Everyone is expected to behave in a straightforward manner and when one deviates from this straight path into crooked ways he has committed a tort. Hence tort is a conduct which is twisted or crooked and not straight. The person who commits the act is called a tortfeasor.
