What is Assault & Battery?
Assault and Battery is a serious crime that can have a devastating impact on victims and their families, emotionally, physically and financially. Although the two terms are used interchangeably, they are actually different criminal actions
Assault – Commonly defined as an intentional act that causes apprehension or fear of imminent harmful offensive, or unwanted contact.
Battery – is intentional physical contact with a person without his or her consent that results in bodily harm or is considered offensive to a reasonable person.
Public premises such as malls, restaurants, sports facilities, schools, etc. have obligations to provide necessary security. When adequate security is not provided, assaults and injuries can happen.
Several years ago, Mr. Young obtained a $2 million verdict against a Putnam County bar where his client was assaulted. There we relied upon the New York State “Dram Shop Act”, which holds sellers of alcohol accountable if they serve an intoxicated person who later injured someone.
