have opaque sections or areas that are cloudy.
, Tort
A tort is classified as an intentional tort or an
unintentional tort. A tort happens when an individual
feels that he or she has been wronged or suffered an
injury through other methods beside a breach of
contract. Also, with a tort, an individual has sustained
an injury and the individual who caused the injury was
at fault. The individual who has been injured can seek
damages or monetary compensation for the injury.

proven: duty - where a professional did not provide
care that is reasonable, the breach of duty, an injury

the professional did not provide adequate care to
patient and this inadequate care injures the patient).
Further, reasonable cause is performing care that is
acceptable. Then, due care is the act of providing
adequate care and adhering to a patient's or
individual's right. Criminal law is a form of law that
focuses on societal conduct.
