Intentional Tort. I had no idea what that was, so looked it up. Here's what I found. Could this cause her to lose her license?
TORT LAW FOR PSYCHOLOGISTS
Torts refer to conduct that causes harm and for which the law imposes civil liability. If a careless driver (a tortfeasor) rear ends you and causes harm to your car and/or your body, the driver could be liable for those harms, and would have to pay enough money to make you whole or put you in the position you would have been had there been no tort.
There are three basic tort theories. The first is based on intent, which means the tortfeasor intended to do something that caused harm. The second theory is based on carelessness or fault. Under the second theory, it does not matter what you intended, but rather only that what you did was careless. More specifically, in psychology, it means you fell below a standard of care in the profession. The third theory, known as strict liability, holds one liable regardless of intent or fault. If injury occurs under a strict liability theory, all that a plaintiff need show is that injuries were caused by the defendant’s conduct, regardless of how well intended.
