Can Assault or Battery Be A Personal Injury Claim?
You may be wondering, if you were injured due to assault, can you file a personal injury claim? Any cases where intentional physical activities were performed to cause harm, intimidation, or fright fall under personal injury. Personal injury does not represent just accidents, but also intentional violent acts such as robbery, assault, battery, and more. What are the elements of a personal injury claim concerning assault and battery? The factors that allow an assault personal injury claim to be developed include:
- The injured party must not be more than 50% at fault for the event
- The perpetrator acted with negligence and intent
- Medical documentation is necessary to prove the extent of damages caused (report to the police and seek medical treatment to have a record)
The two types of damages that can be given through an assault personal injury claim include compensatory and punitive damages. Compensatory damages are meant to cover loss of wages, medical expenses, and other costs that arose after the inciting incident. Punitive damages are meant to compensate for the intentional act of assault, battery, and other violence. If you are looking for a violent crime, sexual assault, domestic violence, and personal injury lawyer who will pay the utmost attention and care to your claim, contact our legal firm to get started on discussing your case.
