What Is Assault and Battery?
Assault and battery are often used together, but they can be separate criminal offenses. Assault is putting someone in imminent fear of harm or bodily injury. Battery involves unlawful or offensive physical contact. Attempted battery that doesn’t involve contact can be a type of assault. While people typically think of assault and battery as criminal charges, if you are the victim of an assault or battery, you can sue your assailant even if they are not criminally charged.
What Are Some Examples of Situations Where I Might Need an Assault and Battery Lawyer?
Many common situations can escalate quickly into a physical altercation. But you may need a lawyer to help you sue for an assault or battery if you are the victim of:
- A fight that broke out
- A mugging, robbery, or burglary
- Horseplay that escalated and you were hurt
- False claims of domestic violence
How Can an Assault and Battery Lawyer Help Me?
Having an experienced assault and battery lawyer on your side can give you the best chance at recovering the compensation you deserve. An assault and battery attorney will review your case, gather all the evidence, and identify your best legal strategy. Even if your assailant was not arrested, an experienced lawyer can create a case that puts you in a strong position in settlement negotiations or at trial.
What Could Happen if I Don’t Hire an Assault and Battery Lawyer?
If you don’t hire an assault and battery lawyer, likely find it much harder to secure any settlement compensation. You could miss the statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit if Georgia has one. When it comes to negotiations, the defendant will likely have their own lawyer, who will know the law better than you. You could be at a big disadvantage in mediation or settlement negotiations. Getting compensation could take a long time without strong legal representation.

- What is your experience with assault and battery cases in Georgia?
- What is your approach to handling assault and battery cases?
