Intentional Acts
Personal Injury cases are not limited to injuries caused by the negligence of others. Sometimes people are injured though the intentional acts of another.
In Florida, when someone intentionally hurts you, you have the right to the same legal help and compensation as someone who was injured in an accident.
The types of intentional acts that may be actionable in civil court include:
Assault and battery
Sexual Abuse
Wrongful imprisonment
Trespassing
False imprisonment
Fraud, deceit, or false statement
Defamation
Conversion (taking or using someone’s property without their consent)
Severe emotional distress
The main roadblock in these types of claims is identifying a source for compensation. In filing a civil claim for an intentional tort, the aim is to seek money damages that will compensate you for your injuries. However, unlike negligence-based cases, insurance coverage is rarely afforded to intentional acts. If there is no applicable insurance coverage and the defendant has no money or assets, you may find yourself with a worthless or uncollectible claim. To avoid wasting your time it is essential that you work with an experienced attorney who can investigate the claim and look for assets or potential insurance coverage.
