| Battery
The word "battery" comes from the Latin "battuere" meaning "to
beat." In a legal sense, battery occurs when a perpetrator willfully
touches or uses force against a person without his or her consent.
The act of battery must include actual physical contact between
the perpetrator and the victim or to an object connected to the
victim. Throwing an object which strikes another individual is a
clear case of battery. An example of battery in which there is no
actual touching of the victim would be knocking a tray full of food
out of another's hands.
If you or a loved one is in need of legal assistance, call Boller & Vaughan S.C. at (608) 268-0268 or submit
an online questionnaire. The initial consultation is free of charge, and
if we agree to handle your case, we will work on a contingency fee basis, which
means we get paid for our services only if there is a monetary recovery of funds.
In many cases, a lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date,
known as a statute of limitations. Please call right away to ensure that you
do not waive your right to possible compensation.
