There is really only one main difference between and intentional tort and negligent tort. An intentional tort would be an injury caused by an intentional act by another. A negligent tort however, is one that is an accidental injury caused by negligence.

What the purpose of tort law?

Tort law is a body of law that addresses and provides remedies for civil wrongdoings not arising out of contractual obligations. A person who suffers legal damage may be able to use tort law to receive compensation from someone who is legally responsible, or liable, for those injuries. Generally speaking, tort law defines what constitutes a legal injury and establishes the circumstances under which one person may be held liable for another's injury. Tort law spans intentional and negligent acts. Tort law has three purposes. The first is to compensate the victim, the second is to punish the wrongdoer, and the third is to deter harmful activities. The two basic categories of torts are intentional torts and negligent torts.
