A tort is defined as a legal wrong, independent of contract that involves the violation of a duty that results in a loss to any person, association, or corporation caused by an act by public officials within the scope of their employment. A tort claim is not a lawsuit. The Claim must be filed with the County Clerk and presented to the Board of County Commissioners. The Board can approve, deny, or allow the claim to expire by operation of law.
