What is a wrongful act?

A wrongful act is a violation of the law or one’s moral or legal duty. In Oklahoma, there are a number of different types of wrongful acts which can give rise to tort liability. A few examples include negligence, which is failing to use reasonable care, resulting in harm to another person; intentional torts, which involve intentionally causing harm to another person; and strict liability, which holds a person or company liable for a tort regardless of whether or not they were negligent. Additionally, under Oklahoma law, a wrongful act can also refer to a breach of contract, which occurs when one party fails to uphold their obligations under a contract. Wrongful acts can result in damages being awarded to the victim in an accident, which can be financial, physical, or emotional.
