Not all personal injury arise from negligence. Some of them originate from individuals who intentionally cause others injuries. These intentional physical or emotional injuries arise from two a variety of wrongdoings or torts. These are assault and battery. website are the same in the sense that are done intentionally by an offender. However, the similarity ends there, because in an assault case, the wrongdoer threatens and acts like he or she might do something to harm the victim, whereas in battery, the wrongdoer actually touches and makes experience of anyone and does something to injure him. Some of these incidents result from minor altercations that do not necessarily require hospitalization understanding that get settled by simple settlement and understanding. However, whenever a victim gets hospitalized due to serious injuries, then that is the good enough reason to look for assistance from a personal injury attorney.
