Physical assault and battery

Physical assault and battery can either refer to a single offense (in criminal law) or it can refer to a threat of assault and unlawful touching. Assault and battery isn’t the same thing, but they are both criminal offences in the context of what is known as “tort law”.

Assault: This is an act that creates fear. During an assault, a victim is lead to believe that he or she may be attacked or harmed.

Battery: In tort law, battery refers to the act or attack itself. Battery can also refer to wrongful touching.

If you have been the victim of assault and battery, you will be able to file a personal injury claim, whereby the attacker or person responsible for battery is liable for damages. Even if there is no physical injury, you can lay an assault or battery charge if there was wrongful touching or threatening.

If a stranger (or someone who is known to you) used their body, a vehicle or any type of object or weapon with the intent to harm you, you will need personal injury lawyers to help you get a fair settlement.
