Intentional Torts Lawyer

Actions such as assault, battery, false imprisonment, rape, sex offenses, trespass, theft/conversion, and other similar actions are intentional torts. Intentional torts are voluntary acts that infringe and violate a victim’s rights. Commonly, the violation or infringement is also a criminal act. Most intentional torts committed against a victim can be violent and result in serious personal injuries or the wrongful death of an innocent person. If another person has intentionally harmed you or your property, you have rights to protect.

The two general types of intentional torts are 1) acts against people, and 2) acts against/over property. Florida recognizes several intentional torts that other states may or may not. We handle intentional tort cases that result in significant or catastrophic personal injury to others. The common types of intentional tort cases we handle include the following:

• Assault – This is a tort against a person where another touches you, harasses you, corners you, or otherwise threatens you in a manner that gives you the belief you are about to be physically harmed. The harm is usually a battery.
• Battery – This is another tort against a person which is where a defendant makes intentional contact with you in a harmful or offensive manner and causes harm. The most common example is a punch, kick, push down, or other physical violence. A battery could also be spit on (offensive) or unnecessary surgery (harmful and offensive). Batteries could also be sex crimes such as rape.
• False imprisonment – This is a tort against the person which occurred when a defendant confines or restrains a victim without consent and the victim is not able to freely leave. This can include kidnapping or locking a person in a room.
• Intentional infliction of emotional distress – This is a type of tort against a person when a victim suffers severe and extreme emotional or mental anguish due to the extreme and outrageous conduct of a defendant. An example could be bullying.
• Defamation – This is a tort against a person but could also be against a business. This is where a defendant makes intentionally false statements to damage a person or business’ reputation.
• Trespass to land – This is a tort against/over property that occurs when a person enters or remains on private property without the consent of the owner. There is also trespass to chattel, which is when a person unlawfully uses and possesses another person’s tangible property like a vehicle or lawnmower without permission.
• Conversion of property – This is a tort against/over property which occurs when a person interferes with another person’s property rights. This includes stealing property or breaking property.
