In most cases, personal injury lawsuits are filed in response to an accident, such as a car crash or an act of negligence. If your injury was caused by intentional harm from another individual, immediately speak with an assault and battery attorney from The Werner Law Firm. Assault and battery are intentional torts that often form the basis of a lawsuit within civil court.
Assault, within a personal injury case, is the intentional act that is intended to cause harmful contact. Battery involves actual intentional and harmful contact with another individual.
For assault or battery to be proven in your personal injury case, the contact to the victim can be any of the following:
- Direct and immediate.
- Indirect and immediate.
- Indirect and remote.
