Intentional Acts

‘Intentional Acts’ Include Assault and Misrepresentation

If someone knowingly, intentionally, and purposely harms you or your property they have committed an intentional act, which is can be compensated through civil law.  The issue with intentional tort injuries is simply: who will actually pay for your damages?

Most Insurance policies EXCLUDE any intentional acts by their insured.  However,  you still have a case against the PERSON who committed the act, but the reality is that most people who act in such a way don’t have too many assets to chase.

'Intentional Acts' Include Assault and Misrepresentation

 

Herein lies the rub: You may have a case but the real question is does the at fault person have the money to pay you for your damages?

Can I file a personal injury claim for malicious, intentionally-inflicted injuries?

If your attacker was charged or convicted in criminal court, you may have a strong personal injury claim.

A skilled injury lawyer will investigate your case and gather the evidence and documentation it takes to recover compensation for economic and non-economic damages, including, but not limited to:

  • Medical treatment expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of earning potential
  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Psychological trauma
  • Scarring or disfigurement

As the victim of an assault or battery, you may also receive punitive damages. Rarely awarded, these damages punish the defendant for behavior deemed particularly egregious.
