Tort law covers both mass claims and simple individual damage suits for injuries

Evidence

The Agent Orange case belongs to the category of tort law; that is, cases involving civil wrongs or injuries for which damages are sought. Tort cases may entail, as in the Agent Orange litigation, multiple claims by workers or consumers against the actions or products of a limited number of corporations. More often, however, they involve relatively simple suits for damages by one individual against another, seeking compensation for damages or injuries suffered in, for example, an automobile accident. — G.
