Culver City Assault and Battery Lawyer

Assault and battery are intentional acts to create a sense of profound fear in an individual or physically harm someone else. And anyone who has been the victim of an assault and/or battery knows what a frightening and devastating time this can be. The psychological damage of assault and the physical harm from battery can be difficult to overcome. If you have been the victim of assault and battery, it is important to understand that there are legal measures in place to help assault and battery victims receive justice.

Victims of assault and battery may press criminal charges against their attacker as well as file a civil suit against him or her. Assault and battery civil cases not only involve compensation for losses you sustained as a result of someone’s intentional harm against you, such as medical bills, lost income, loss of future income and pain and suffering, but also may include punitive damages intended to punish the defendant and deter others from engaging in similar behavior.

If an assailant is a minor, his or her parents may be responsible for any harm their child inflicts on others and an employer may be responsible for the ways their employees behave while on the clock. In addition, you may be able to file a premises liability claim if insufficient lighting or security contributed to the incident. To get a better idea of who is ultimately responsible for your injuries and what type of damages you may pursue, it is important to discuss your claim with a qualified Los Angeles assault and battery attorney.
