Home » Canadian Tort Law
Canadian tort law is the backbone of our civil justice system, providing a framework for individuals to seek redress when wronged by others. It encompasses a wide range of civil wrongs, from personal injury to professional negligence, and is built on principles of fairness and accountability.
Rooted in common law with statutory modifications, tort law covers areas such as negligence, strict liability, and intentional torts. Each area has its own set of rules and precedents, making it a complex field that requires expert navigation.
