The law of torts is the area of law that covers when we hold one person responsible for injuring another person. What if an injury is deliberate? What if an injury is unintentional? What damages can be recovered by the person who is injured? Can a person recover for non-physical injuries? An introduction to the issues involved in Torts can be found in Jay M. Feinman's Law 101. Read Chapter 5, "Auto Accidents, Scalding Coffee, and Medical Malpractice: Personal Injuries and Tort Law" (Call Number: KF 387 .F45 2006 Law Open Reserve ).

For a "big picture" view of the tort litigation system that is more advanced than Law 101 and gives insight into the issues behind why the system works as it does, try Peter A. Bell, Jeffrey O'Connell, Accidental Justice: The Dilemmas of Tort Law (Call Number: KF 1250 .B4 1997 Law Stacks).
