What is a tort?

A delict (from the Latin delictum, meaning “wrong”) is a legal concept that originated in Roman law. The Bulgarian term that most closely expresses its meaning is непозволено увреждане: unlawfully causing harm to another person, or a tort.

The person who commits a tort has a duty to compensate the injured person financially for the harm suffered. Depending on the nature of the wrongful conduct, the person responsible may incur criminal, administrative-penal or civil liability.

If you have suffered harm as a result of a tort, an experienced lawyer can advise you on your options for holding the person responsible to account.
