wrongful acts
Unjust harmful deeds
Wrongful acts are actions that violate legal rights or duties, causing harm or injury to another person.
The phrase appears most often in legal and insurance contexts: The policy covers liability for wrongful acts committed by employees.
A wrongful act need not be criminal—it includes negligence, breach of contract, or civil wrongs that may result in lawsuits or claims for damages.
