| The word "battery"
comes from the Latin "battuere" meaning "to beat."
In a legal sense, battery occurs when a perpetrator
willfully touches or uses force against a person
without his or her consent. The act of battery must
include actual physical contact between the
perpetrator and the victim or to an object connected
to the victim. Throwing an object which strikes
another individual is a clear case of battery. An
example of battery in which there is no actual
touching of the victim would be knocking a tray full
of food out of another's hands.
If you or a loved one has
suffered an injury as a result of battery, 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. |
