This easy-to-use doctrinal favorite incorporates many cases decided within the last several years. It emphasizes personal injury torts, including civil rights torts, but also covers non-tort systems of compensation, including social security and workers' compensation. Several chapters deal with current medical malpractice and products liability law. (The malpractice chapter has a new section on nursing home liability.) Shorter chapters cover economic and dignitary torts such as defamation, privacy, fraud and others. In approach, this book attempts to present basic concepts such as duty, negligence, cause, scope of risk, and comparative responsibility by using cases and notes that ask for thoughtful analysis and synthesis, as well as respect for facts and policy. The book also investigates such current issues as tort reform and apportionment of responsibility.

This advanced torts casebook covers all the major business and dignitary torts, including defamation, privacy invasions, disparagement, bad faith breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion of economic values, interference with contract and economic opportunity, unfair competition, and others. It examines essential policy issues involving free speech, free competition, and the question whether contract trumps tort in commercial transactions. It also includes material on developing law, such as internet issues, SLAPP statutes and analogous free speech issues, and the Economic Loss Rule (or Rules).

This edition reflects new developments in cases, topics, and academic contributions to tort law. The user will find more than 25 main cases new to this edition and more than 30 new case abstracts, in addition to many new case citations. A few of the cases new to this edition antedate the third edition, but no less than twelve were decided in 2000. Some important changes that have influenced this edition were not changes in the law. Torts and Compensation, Fourth Edition has been revised to better reflect the cultural attitudes and preoccupations of students entering the 21st Century. Moreover, the new edition benefits from the authors' experience in teaching the materials, as well as from the suggestions made by their students and other teachers. As with the previous editions, the new edition focuses primarily (though not exclusively) on injury law, and it includes tort law's neighbors-workers' compensation, no-fault, and social security disability. Throughout, the authors seek to challenge students to build professional skills in analysis and synthesis, in policy judgment and in a sense of justice.

This version of Dobbs, Hayden and Bublick's Torts and Compensation is newly streamlined for professors who teach a four-unit course or who want to cover fewer pages per day, yet retain complete coverage. This edition tracks the standard edition, but cuts an additional 300 pages by removing some cases and notes and occasionally trimming a case to a shorter format. This edition also omits chapters concerning defamation, fraud, and other economic and dignitary torts, as well as some material concerning alternatives to Tort law. The result is a substantially shorter casebook that nevertheless provides the coverage most teachers want.

A single-volume introduction to contemporary tort and injury law. This expert summary covers direct and intentional interference with person or property and explores their defenses. Reviews liabilities, damages, and the apportionment of responsibility among parties, and examines the criticism and choices in tort law. Economic and dignitary injury is considered as well.

The Concise Version is newly streamlined for professors who teach a four-unit course or who want to cover fewer pages per day yet to retain complete coverage. The Concise Edition tracks the Standard Edition, but aims at cutting an additional 200 pages by trimming notes and cases and omitting some cases in favor of a short textual summary, or in one instance, substituting a shorter case. It also omits defamation, fraud, and other economic and dignitary torts, as well as some practice-oriented material.

This book focuses primarily on personal injury torts, including common law tort solutions. Yet, most injuries in America are redressed through alternative means, such as workers' compensation, social security, or private insurance. A picture of injury law, therefore, includes those topics and they remain a part of the current edition. Although the economic tort materials provided in this book are limited core materials, they suffice to help readers recognize that tort law is not exclusively injury law, but involves much more.

(The problems embodied in this book differ from the usual ...)
The problems embodied in this book differ from the usual academic presentation in several ways. First, students are not initially confronted with an authoritative statement of "law" but with facts and human problems. Second, except in the four introductory chapters, the problems are not organized to present an orderly sequence of remedies rules. Instead, they are organized around diverse factual settings, so the issues come to the student just as they come to lawyers in practice-helter-skelter. Requires students to work analytically, not in an organization dictated by the logic of a casebook.

(The seventh edition of Torts and Compensation, Personal A...)
The seventh edition of Torts and Compensation, Personal Accountability and Social Responsibility for Injury covers the course in around 1,000 pages. It includes additions carefully selected from hundreds of cases decided between 2009 and 2012. It also includes additions from recent statutes and authorities such as the Restatement Third of Torts. New cases illustrate core negligence issues, such as the emergency doctrine, cause in fact, proximate cause, comparative fault, and assumed risk. New cases also address federal preemption, charitable immunity, tort duties of a contracting party, punitive damages, and specialized fields, such as medical malpractice, products liability, governmental immunities, and duty to protect the plaintiff from others.

The Standard Edition of the casebook now covers the course in less than 1,000 pages. It includes additions carefully selected from hundreds of cases and statutes decided between 2005 and 2008. New cases illustrate core negligence issues such as the emergency doctrine, negligence per se, foreseeability, actual harm, cause in fact, proximate cause, comparative fault, and assumed risk. New cases also address limited duties, immunities and specialized fields, such as medical malpractice, products liability, governmental immunities, effect of contract on tort, duty to protect the plaintiff from others, and wrongful death and survival actions. References to the Restatement (Third) of Torts are also included.
