The Tort System
Whenever a company or individual acts unreasonably and causes injury, that person or company may be liable for committing a tort. In some cases it doesn’t matter how careful or reasonable the company or individual is—they may be liable for any injury resulting from their actions.

| Competency | Explain torts |
| Criteria | Differentiate between intentional torts and negligence |
