Acts of Physical Abuse
Although abuse is usually considered a criminal offense, individuals who have been the victims of abuse may have grounds for a personal injury lawsuit as well. This is because individuals who intentionally inflict harm on others are committing acts of gross negligence.
- Punching and kicking
- Cutting and scratching
- Pulling hair
In general, an act is considered to be a form of abuse if the person who inflicts the harm does so unjustifiably. Though individuals are advised against striking another person under any circumstances to avoid legal ramifications, some acts of physical harm may be considered to have been provoked.
Individuals who have been physically victimized should discuss their legal rights and options with a Madison personal injury lawyer.
