Every tort claim, regardless of its basis, whether intentional, negligent, or strict liability, has two basic issues -- liability and damages. Was the defendant liable for the damages you sustained, and, if so, what is the nature and extent of your damages? If you can prove liability and damages, our system of justice will award you compensation for your loss.
