Tort law covers that area of civil law that provides legal remedies for personal injuries and property damage caused by others. Tort law seeks to determine who should bear the loss of such harms. Although seeking compensation for injury or loss is central to tort actions, beneath the demand for money is often a desire for acknowledgement of responsibility, validation or vindication. Further, tort cases often involve struggles between profits and safety. Did the pursuit of profits or convenience hamper efforts to implement safe practices? Too often, tort cases turn injury and loss into commodified products marketed in the legal system. What is fair compensation for particular injuries and harms? Tort law says a lot about how society treats each other, how we expect to be treated, who recovers, and who does not. It does not treat all of us the same.
