Assault and Battery

Assault and battery are considered intentional torts in personal injury law. This means that they are intentionally inflicted on an individual by another person. In a typical assault and battery case, the offender is sued by the victim to get compensation for injuries and damages that stem from the incident. Legal requirements differ by state but a personal injury complaint for assault can arise even when there is no actual touching or contact that occurred.

In what is somewhat of a reversal of roles, a personal injury attorney is facing personal injury charges for punching two men in State Street area bars in Wisconsin.
