The field of tort law is extremely varied and covers numerous scenarios under which a person’s liability may be engaged. Consider for example occupational accidents or road accidents, medical fault or even breach of contract. However, it is also relevant in more specific areas such as the liability of the owner of a building or a keeper of animals, as well as risky activities such as the organisation of school trips or clinical research protocols. The legal management of these situations is often highly complex and the assistance of a lawyer is generally essential, as it is necessary to determine whether any party was at fault, the extent of the loss (such as moral harm, loss of profit, loss of support, impairment of the ability to perform unremunerated activities, impairment of the future economic prospects, or loss of pension) and whether there is any causal link between the fault and the harm. It is also necessary to coordinate between (social and private) insurance law and the applicable rules of tort law.
