Assault Compared to a Battery

An assault is the threat of an attack or an action which can cause someone to believe an attack is immanent. An example of this would be someone clenching a fist with close enough distance to strike a person or someone purposely swerving a car in your direction. Assault does not require any contact with the victim.

Battery, on the other hand, requires some sort of contact with the senses. It could even be someone playing very loud music which damages your hearing; however, typically the contact is physical touch, such as from a punch or causing an object to strike the victim.

If you have been assaulted and/or battered, you could have a claim. These types of claims in the personal injury field commonly involve security guards and staff who wrongfully hurt victims. The business will be responsible for the actions of its employees, and you may be entitled to substantial compensation.
