2 TORT LAW Tort law compensates injured persons, compensation for those who suffer harm (Kubasek et al., 2023). The goal of tort law is to prevent retaliation from the wounded parties. Tort law can impact business practices by holding companies responsible for their actions and behavior; torts also can cause financial loss, damage to reputation, and loss of business. There are three classified types of torts: international, negligence, and strict liability (Kubasek et al., 2023). Intentional torts take place if the defendant practices any action that can intentionally injure or harm others. Negligent tort occurs if the defendant practices acts that subject others to unreasonable risk. Strict liability tort occurs if the defendant's actions are dangerous or unsafe. In the case involving Sunshine Yoga and the incident with the snake, the tort law that can apply to this situation is negligence. The landlord, Lou, failed to maintain a safe environment; he was liable for neglect of his duties. Lou knew that Friendly Dawgs had live animals on his property. The snake is a dangerous animal; Friendly Dawg should be held strictly liable for the harm caused by the snake. The snake caused the owner of Sunshine Yoga to be so scared that she had a heart attack. The Friendly Dawgs owner and landlord, Lou, should be held strictly liable and negligent. Both are responsible for the actions that took place. The Friendly Dawg did not properly secure the animal, which unknowingly allowed the snake to enter the Sunshine Yoga property. Lou, the landlord was negligent in his duty.

Jasmine complained to the landlord, saying she feared for her life and she suffered from depression. Dave and Lou's behavior created an unreasonable risk of harm to Jasmine. Dave did not properly secure his property from animals escaping it. Both Dave and Lou are strictly liable for Jasmine's damages. Jasmine's can file a suit against both parties for damages. Lou, the landlord, was notified that Jasmine was unhappy about the disturbance at Dave's shop. Both Dave and Lou are strictly liable for Jasmine's damages. Jasmine's can file a suit against both parties for damages. Lou, the landlord, was notified that Jasmine was unhappy about the disturbance at Dave's shop. With Jasmine's testimony and medical records, the evidence will prove that Jasmine's case is cut and dry. The attorney must prove duty, breach of duty, causation, and damages(Kubasek et al., 2023). The evidence must show that the defendants indeed violated and caused injury to
