Tort / Litigation and trials
Tort Law, known in Spanish as Derecho de daños, is a fundamental branch of civil law that regulates situations in which a person suffers harm caused by another's conduct. Unlike criminal law, which seeks to punish offenses against society, tort law focuses on protecting individual interests and providing compensation to those who have been affected.
TORT LAW
Tort Law is divided into three main categories: negligence, which occurs when someone fails to act with reasonable care and causes harm (such as in traffic accidents or medical errors); intentional torts, where harm is caused deliberately, as in cases of assault, defamation, or invasion of privacy; and strict liability, which applies even without fault, for example in dangerous activities or defective products. In all cases, the goal is to ensure that the victim receives fair compensation and that harmful conduct is limited by law.
In our professional practice, we have seen clients who initially doubted the viability of their case ultimately obtain significant compensation thanks to an appropriate legal strategy. The lawyer not only analyzes liability but also negotiates with insurance companies, represents the client in court, and ensures that their rights are protected at every stage. In short, having specialized advice in Tort Law is not a luxury, but a guarantee of justice and security in the face of situations that can seriously affect personal and financial life.
In the social sphere, Tort Law acts as a deterrent: individuals and organizations know that irresponsible behavior can lead to costly compensation and reputational damage. Thus, this system not only protects victims but also promotes a culture of preventive responsibility, where care and diligence become essential values for coexistence and economic development.
