Understanding Assault & Intentional Torts
Assault and intentional torts involve acts done on purpose. These cases are different from accidents. The harm is often sudden and severe, and the impact can last for years.
Assault & intentional torts injury law covers injuries caused by deliberate conduct. These cases may involve physical harm, emotional trauma, or both.
Common Types of Intentional Torts
- Battery – Intentional physical contact that causes injury.
- Sexual assault or abuse – Forced or non-consensual sexual contact causing physical and emotional injury.
- False imprisonment – Unlawful restraint that limits a person’s freedom of movement.
- Intentional infliction of emotional distress – Extreme conduct meant to cause severe emotional harm that leads to physical injury.
- Defamation causing physical harm – Libel or slander that results in real, measurable injury.
What Injured People Can Do Next
After an intentional act, clear steps matter. These cases often move fast and require careful handling.
- Seek medical care right away, even if injuries are not obvious.
- Document injuries, medical visits, and how the harm affects daily life.
- Preserve any evidence tied to the incident.
- Avoid discussing details publicly while the matter is ongoing.
These steps help protect your health and your legal position.
