Assault And Battery

Many victims of battery do not realize that they can sue for damages.
Even people who are not bruised or cut may still have a case.

As a victim of Assault & Battery, You may be entitled to recover both economic and
non-economic damages. Including but NOT limited to:
  • Medical Expenses
  • Cost of Continuing Care
  • Emotional Distress
  • Pain and Suffering
  • Loss of Earnings
  • Loss of Enjoyment

Know Your Rights!

At Whitehead Law Group, we can help you understand and navigate the system. Assault and Battery are often confused of having the same meaning.

Example of Assault:

Assault: defined as an intentional threat to commit an act of violence, enough so that the person feels like they are in danger.

Battery: requires actual physical impact on another person, where the victim has not given consent to be touched

  • Chris points a toy gun at Anne in order to scare her. The fake firearm looks like the real thing and Anne believes Chris is actually going to shoot her.
  • Judy pushes Frank.

If the victim has not actually been touched, but only threatened (or someone attempted to touch them but didn’t), then the crime is assault.
