Torts: Personal Injury Litigation provides
a comprehensive overview of both personal and property torts. In addition to
negligence, the chapters cover intentional and strict-liability torts. The book
is designed to integrate the substantive law of torts with the analytical
skills needed to understand the scope of this area of the law. Most cases in a
personal-injury law office raise negligence issues along with other causes of
action. Hence, in addition to thorough coverage of the elements of negligence,
ten chapters on other torts incorporate the negligence dimension of those
torts. Examples include strict liability and invasion of privacy. Many of the
chapters also cover the developing law of torts and the Internet.
Most
of the chapters include an outline of topics covered, learning objectives,
exhibits and tables designed to clarify and expand upon themes in the chapter,
extensive case excerpts, assignments and projects, chapter review questions, an
ethics problem, a chapter summary, and research references for further
exploration. Appendices contain practical overviews on paralegal roles, the
economics of a personal-injury practice, interviewing guidelines, and resources
that are essential to practice in this area of the law.After
the discussion of a major tort in specific chapters, there is a comprehensive
checklist of definitions, summaries, relationships, and research links. The
checklist is designed to provide the “big picture” by making connections
between the particular tort examined in the chapter and related material on
other torts discussed in other chapters. The checklist also serves as an
on-the-job refresher for individual torts.
