What the heck is a "tort??" Well, it's a legal term not in common use with regular people. But you know what a "liability" is and that's a legal term too. A tort leads to legal liability. A "tort" has a similar connection to the word "torque" in Latin. You are familiar with a torque wrench. A torque wrench is a tool used to precisely apply a specific pressure to a fastener such as a nut or a bolt. Using a torque leads to fastened nuts or bolts.
In legal terms, a tort has a similar connection in legal theory that torque has in engineering. Torts allow lawmakers to apply punishments to nuts (the nuts are people in this case). Technically, a tort is a wrongful act or an infringement of a right (other than under contract) leading to legal liability.
Here's the problem. Unlike situations involving torque, which are facts based on evidence, the idea of a tort does not come from facts. A tort is an opinion held by a person or a group of people. It may be a legal opinion, but it's still an opinion.
I feel like I am back in my business law class in college...I like the display of a tort, but I think this might portray a tort better....
👍 Great post ! Torque is a measure of how much a force acting on an object causes that object to rotate. The object rotates about an axis, and we will call the force ' If I have not forgotten the subject of school, I think that's it.
Tort, in French, is "wrong". If I´m not wrong. Like you are wrong, or you are making a mistake.
The two Latin words are
torquesandtorquere. Apparently, they are related words. But sure, I could be wrong.Admittedly ignorant in this area but my stepdad was telling me that Texas has had some big tort reform that caps the maximum amount that can be awarded in court cases or something? A lawyer friend of the family hates it because I guess it puts a ceiling on monetary awards from cases.

Great post ! force may be a live of what proportion a force functioning on AN object causes that object to rotate. the thing rotates regarding AN axis, and that we can decision the force ' If I actually have not forgotten the topic of college, i believe that is it.
