How You Can File a Lawsuit if You Have Been Physically Attacked
If you have been assaulted or battered by someone, you have more options open to you than just having that person arrested. You can also contact a personal injury lawyer and have file a lawsuit against them. If you are going to do that, it's important to know what the terms mean and what they mean to you.
Assault
The terms assault and battery often go together, and your attacker may be guilty of both, but they may also be guilty of only one of them.
