What are the functions of the law of tort?

Answer:
The main purpose of tort law is to compensate the victims of wrongdoing for the injuries they suffer as a result.

It generally is not concerned with punishing, or casting moral judgment on, the wrongdoer - it simply compels the person who caused the harm to compensate the person who suffered the harm.
The law of torts has four functions -
1). It provides remedies for wrongs.
2). It provides compensation and vindication.
3). It acts as a deterrant and provides protection.
4). Tort law is concerned with corrective justice and distributive justice.
