A tort, in common law jurisdictions, is a civil wrong that unfairly causes someone else to suffer loss or harm resulting in legal liability for the person who commits the tortious act.

The person who commits the act is called a tortfeasor.

Although crimes may be torts, the cause of legal action is not necessarily a crime, as the harm may be due to negligence which does not amount to criminal negligence.

The victim of the harm can recover their loss as damages in a lawsuit.

In order to prevail, the plaintiff in the lawsuit, commonly referred to as the injured party, must show that the actions or lack of action was the legally recognizable cause of the harm.

The equivalent of tort in civil law jurisdictions is delict.

Natural and legal rights are two types of rights.

Legal rights are those bestowed onto a person by a given legal system (i.e., rights that can be modified, repealed, and restrained by human laws).

Natural rights are those that are not dependent on the laws or customs of any particular culture or government, and therefore universal and inalienable (i.e., rights that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws).

In law, damages are an award, typically of money, to be paid to a person as compensation for loss or injury.

The rules for damages can and frequently do vary based on the type of claim which is presented (e.g., breach of contract versus a tort claim) and the jurisdiction.

A lawyer is a person who practices law, as an advocate, barrister, attorney, counselor or solicitor or chartered legal executive.

Working as a lawyer involves the practical application of abstract legal theories and knowledge to solve specific individualized problems, or to advance the interests of those who hire lawyers to perform legal services.

A demand letter, or letter of demand (of payment), is letter stating a legal claim (usually drafted by a lawyer) which makes a demand for restitution or performance of some obligation, owing to the recipients' alleged breach of contract, or for a legal wrong.

Although demand letters are not legally required they are frequently used, especially in contract law, tort law, and commercial law cases.

For example, if one anticipate a breach, it is advantageous to send a demand letter asserting that the other side appears to be in breach and requesting assurances of performances.

Demand letters that are not responded to may constitute admissions by silence.

Also, a demand letter will often generate a denial letter stating the basis for rejecting your side's claim, and is sometimes a good indication of what defenses will be raised if suit is brought later.
