Throughout the country, tortious interference is a common law tort allowing a claim for damages against a defendant who illegally interferes with a plaintiff’s contractual or business relationships.
These claims may be intentional or negligent. An intentional act of tortious interference requires proof that a defendant intended to cause harm to the plaintiff, or was aware that harm was a likely result of their actions. Negligent interference requires a plaintiff to prove a defendant owed them a duty of care and breached the duty, leading to quantifiable damages.
