Assault, Battery and Intentional Torts

Injuries can occur for a variety of reasons. They can happen because another person was negligent or reckless, or because the person wanted to intentionally inflict an injury.

Intentional torts occur when a person intentionally acts in a certain way that leads to another person's injury. Some common examples of intentional torts are assault, battery, trespass, and false imprisonment.

FindLaw's section on Assault, Battery and Intentional Torts provides information about the various acts that are considered intentional torts. It also addresses the elements that a victim must prove to prevail in their case.
