Assault & Battery FAQs

What you need to know about filing a civil lawsuit for assault and battery

  • What’s the Difference Between Assault and Battery in a Civil Lawsuit?

    In civil personal injury law, assault refers to the threat or attempt to cause harm that puts someone in reasonable fear of injury, while battery is the actual physical act of intentional, unlawful contact or violence. You can file a civil lawsuit for either or both if you were threatened or physically harmed by someone.


  • Can I File a Civil Lawsuit for Assault or Battery If No One Was Arrested?

    Yes. A civil lawsuit is separate from a criminal case. You do not need an arrest or criminal conviction to pursue a civil claim. If someone intentionally harmed you, you can seek financial compensation for your injuries, regardless of what happens in criminal court.



  • What Types of Damages Can I Recover in an Assault and Battery Lawsuit?

    You may be able to recover damages for:


    • Medical bills (emergency care, surgeries, therapy)
    • Lost wages from time off work
    • Pain and suffering
    • Emotional distress or trauma-related mental health care
    • Punitive damages in cases of extreme or malicious conduct
