Tort law

Tort law is a type of law that helps people when they get hurt by someone else. It's like a big rulebook that tells people when they can get help if they hurt by another person or company. When someone else (like a person or business) makes a mistake and hurts you, tort law says that they must compensate you and help you to feel better again.
