Intentional Torts<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Under tort law, when a person intentionally behaves in a way that causes another person harm, it is categorized as an intentional tort. Intentional torts can have both criminal and civil repercussions for the at-fault party. A dignitary tor<\/em>t is a type of intentional tort in which an action causes another person\u2019s reputation or \u201chonor\u201d harm, or subjects them to certain indignities (humiliations and shame). Although valid, very few states have courts that actually use this legal term. <\/p>\n\n\n\n By definition, there are several kinds of dignitary torts that a person can commit. Common torts include defamation, such as slander <\/em>and libel<\/em>. Additional examples include intentional infliction of emotional distress, battery, assault, abduction, false imprisonment, false light, invasion of privacy, and alienation of affections. Many jurisdictions primarily appoint non-physical acts and threats as dignitary torts. Historically, dignitary torts were mostly reserved for battery, assault, false imprisonment, and similar physical actions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There is also a type of non-intentional dignitary tort that can be committed, and it is referred to as negligent infliction of emotional distress<\/em>. In this case, a victim is subjected to emotional distress and\/or mental anguish as a result of another person\u2019s non-intentional act. For example, a man could take nude photos of his girlfriend, show his friends as a joke, and as a result, cause her severe emotional stress and harm to her dignity. However, most jurisdictions simply categorize negligent infliction of emotional distress as just another form of basic negligence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you believe you or someone you love is a victim of defamation, negligent infliction of emotional distress or another intentional tort, contact a seasoned Indianapolis personal injury attorney<\/a> to learn more about your case.
