Intentional torts can arise in
the healthcare field due to violation of certain laws which are planned to
protect individuals. HIPAA, and various other state and federal laws about
confidentiality when violated can lead to international torts. Another tort can
arise when a health care provider fails to give sufficiently detailed
information about the advantage and risks of different courses of action or
medical care to a patient and by it procure the patient’s approval to a course
of treatment.
