Â Consent is a valid defense for the intentional interference form of them and assumption of risk defends against the most common of them. Â The most common of them requires that the defendant failed to act as a (*) "reasonable person" and they require a plaintiff to prove the existence of a legal duty owed by the defendant to the plaintiff, a breach of that duty, and injury as a proximate result of that breach. Â Sometimes occurring with crimes like assault, battery, and malpractice, negligence is the most common of them and they are responsible for the vast majority of civil suits. Â For 10 points, identify this term in law that refers to a wrongful act that injures another and is not a breach of contract.
