1. What type of tort does your case fall under?

The OJ Simpson Civil case falls under intentional Tort for wrongful death and Battery.

2. How does it fit or match the legal definition (the elements) of negligence, strict liability, or intentional harm?

An intentional tort is a civil wrong that occurs when the defendant commits a wrongful action, on purpose, that results in damages to the plaintiff. OJ Simpson battered, and wrongfully ended the life of Nicole Brown Simpson as well as Ronald L. Goldman, it was not in self-defense and totally deliberate.

5. Were there any damages awarded in your case? Do you think the ruling was fair?

OJ Simpson was ordered to pay 33.5 million dollars. I think it was fair because even though he was found innocent in the criminal case, it seemed very likely that he killed his ex wife and her friend.

4. Who is the defendant, plaintiff? What did they do? When and where was your case filed?
