What Counts as an Intentional Tort

Assault, Battery, False Imprisonment, and More

These claims arise when someone deliberately causes harm or unlawfully restricts your freedom. We evaluate police reports, witness statements, messages, and video-from neighborhood shops to venues near the waterfront-to build a strong civil case.
