Civil Torts & Negligence​

Daniel English Paralegal

You were wronged by a non-contractual party. Your sense of moral indignation is spiking and you feel like somebody ought to pay you for the aggravation. The police won’t do anything about it because its not a criminal matter. So, where and how does this problem fit into the law? It’s probably a tort – which means it’s a civil wrong.

YLAW can discuss your situation and determine if the matter is a likely and cost-effective candidate for litigation.
