Assault & Battery Lay Terms
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The distinction between assault and battery is that assault can refer to the threat of harm, whereas battery refers to actual physical harm caused by one person to another. According to American case law, if there is a battery, then there must have been an assault as well. This is exemplified in the case of Hall v. State.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-0 vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-offset-0 vc_col-md-4 vc_col-sm-offset-0 vc_col-xs-12″][vc_column_text]

The amount of force used must be commensurate with the threat posed by the intruder, and it must not be excessive or disproportionate to the threat.”][vc_empty_space][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_separator][mkdf_call_to_action layout=”normal” button_text=”Contact Us” button_type=”solid” button_size=””]
