Assault & Battery in NYC
Victims of assault and battery in New York often want to hold their offenders accountable for the burdens they have caused. These are serious offenses that often involve criminal charges, but may also provide room for the victim to recover additional compensation for the physical and emotional consequences of the incident. It is important to recognize that assault and battery are two different things. Assault can be defined as threatening to or actually making a physical attack on another person. Battery, on the other hand, can be defined as the unconsented physical contact, regardless of whether it is violent or not, against another person. Incidents of assault and battery can have serious implications on a victim, often making them suffer from significant medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional distress.
