Intentional Torts and Damages Recap

KeLani Productions Season 2 Episode 17

In this episode, we unpack intentional torts with a focus on battery, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and false imprisonment. We break down key legal elements, explore defenses like consent and self-defense, and discuss the doctrine of transferred intent. Additionally, we dive into Tennessee-specific laws on damages, covering compensatory and punitive damages, loss of consortium, and statutory caps. We also examine statutes of limitations and repose in medical malpractice and product liability cases, highlighting critical case law examples. Tune in for an insightful look at the legal principles and precedents shaping these complex areas of tort law.
