intentional harm
Purposeful causing damage
Intentional harm is injury or damage inflicted deliberately rather than accidentally.
The phrase appears in legal, ethical, and policy contexts where the distinction between purposeful and negligent conduct matters: The policy covers accidental damage but excludes intentional harm.
A person who causes intentional harm acted with knowledge and purpose, not mere carelessness.
