What are the types of torts

The video tutorial provides an overview of the three main types of torts: intentional torts, negligence torts, and strict liability torts. Intentional torts involve actions taken with the intent to cause harm, such as battery. Negligence occurs when a party fails to act as a reasonable person would, resulting in harm to another. Strict liability holds a party responsible for harm caused by certain activities, regardless of intent or care. The tutorial explains each type with examples and discusses the legal implications.
