An
intentional tort is a category of
torts that describes a civil wrong resulting from an intentional act on the part of the
tortfeasor (alleged wrongdoer). The term
negligence, on the other hand, pertains to a tort that simply results from the failure of the tortfeasor to take sufficient care in fulfilling a duty owed, while
strict liability torts refers to situations where a party is liable for injuries no matter what precautions were taken.
