tortfeasor

This is an individual who commits a tort against another person. A plaintiff can bring a tortfeasor to court and seek a remedy for the injury s/he sustained. These remedies are often legal in nature, meaning they involve money damages rather than court ordered performance (equitable remedies). Some of the torts you can commit are:

• Assault
• Battery
• False Imprisonment
• Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress
• Trespass to Land
• Trespass to Chattels
• Conversion
