| One common area
included within the scope of personal injury law is
that of “assault”, an intentional act or threat
which instills fear of imminent physical harm in an
individual. No actual touching need occur for
assault to be designated: The threat alone is
wrongdoing enough to be covered by personal injury
laws. If the threat actually becomes a reality in
which an individual is non-consensually touched by
an object or person, the assault becomes a battery.
For example, if a person brandished a gun at another
person and threatened to shoot, an assault has been
committed. A battery occurs if the person actually
follows through and succeeds in shooting the person
he has threatened. Both of these instances are
covered under personal injury law in that a victim
has the right to monetary recovery for the wrongful
acts perpetrated upon him or her. If you or a loved one has suffered an injury due to
an assault, call Law Office of James C. DeZao at
1-800-675-2604. The initial consultation is free of charge,
and if we agree to handle your case, we will work on
a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for
our services only if there is a monetary recovery of
funds. In many cases a lawsuit must be filed before
an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of
limitations. Therefore, please call right away to
ensure that you do not waive your right to possible
compensation.
