"Intentional harm" to a person or property means that a person has purposefully sought to harm another person or that person's property.
When you've been hurt by someone who purposefully set out to harm you or damage your property, you are protected by the law. You will need an experienced lawyer from Castle Law Office to be sure that you get the money you are owed to compensate you for your injury.
Intentional acts include:
Often charged together, assault and battery are two separate charges.
Assault is a threat of physical harm to an individual. There is no physical contact with assault. If you've been assaulted, you are protected by personal injury laws.
A battery occurs if the person follows through with the threat and physically harms another.
False imprisonment occurs if an individual prevents another person's freedom of movement without justification or consent for any amount of time. The most common form of false imprisonment is kidnapping.
There are four key principals in a false imprisonment claim.
Conversion means that a person has wrongfully taken possession or control over the personal property of another. Personal property, referred to as "chattels," could be a building, car, lawn mower and other personal pieces of property.
Conversion is different from trespassing in that with conversion, the person takes and uses the property taken as if it was his or her own.
To prove conversion, these elements must be present:
Fraud and misrepresentation are scams, falsification of identify and other forms of deceit. These types of cases usually involve extensive research and relentless fact finding. You need an experienced attorney to defend your case.
Fraud
Fraud occurs when one person deliberately falsifies information in order to deceive another into certain
conduct or to giving up something of value.
Misrepresentation
Misrepresentation is a false or misleading statement that was made to deceive another person.
Contracts may be broken in cases of fraud and misrepresentation, and the wrongdoer can be sued for
damages.
Infliction of emotional distress occurs when one person purposefully acts in a way that is intended to and causes severe mental anguish in another person.
There are a few factors that determine the extent of fault:
Trespass to land occurs when someone refuses to leave the property after they have been told to do so.
A person is subject to liability for trespass, regardless of whether he causes harm, if he intentionally:
Examples include domestic violence cases in which one person has been ordered to leave the premises but doesn't, an unwanted person enters an establishment and refuses to leave, and when a person refuses or neglects to take away a personal belonging from another person's property.
Trespass to personal property, or chattel, occurs when someone uses or takes control of another's personal belongings.
This trespassing tort can refer to any type of personal property, including personal information that can be accessed via computer. Hacking into computer systems or using a computer when not authorized is considered trespassing.
