Torts - just desserts?

I took my last test of the fall quarter at Whatcom Community College tonight. Torts. A tort is a civil wrong. There are three kinds of torts: intentional torts, negligence, and strict liability. For a tort to occur, we need four elements:

1. A duty
2. A breach of that duty
3. Causation
4. Damages
