What Is Assault and Battery?
People often use “assault and battery” as one phrase, but they’re actually two separate things. Together, these acts can cause serious physical harm and lasting emotional damage. Under California law, both are taken seriously:
- Assault – This involves a threat or attempt to hurt someone that makes them fear for their safety. No physical contact is required.
- Battery – This is the physical act of hitting, striking, or touching someone in a harmful or offensive way without their consent. Our battery lawyer can help you seek compensation for your injuries.
Common Types of Assault and Battery Cases
Assault and battery can occur in many situations, and Big Tony Law has the experience to handle them all. Here are some of the most common types our assault and battery lawyer handles:
This describes punching, slapping, or threatening someone in a fight or argument.
This is the act of attacking someone with a weapon or in a way that causes serious injury.
Our domestic lawyer can represent you in cases involving violence or threats between you and your partner, family members, or people you live with.
Unwanted sexual contact or advances can lead to serious criminal charges.
This includes physical attacks or threats that happen on the job.
The Emotional and Psychological Effects of Assault and Battery
Being assaulted doesn’t just hurt your body. It can also damage your mental health. Many victims experience:
- Anxiety and Fear – Victims may feel unsafe, jumpy, or on edge long after the incident.
- Depression – Some people lose interest in daily life or feel hopeless about the future after being assaulted.
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) – Flashbacks, nightmares, and severe emotional distress are common after traumatic assaults.
- Difficulty Trusting Others – Individuals may struggle to feel safe around others, even loved ones.
These effects are real, and they matter. When we fight for your compensation, we fight for it all – physical injuries, emotional suffering, and everything in between.
What to Do After Being Assaulted
If you’ve been assaulted, your next actions can make a big difference in your case. We suggest you:
- Call 911 – Report the incident to police as soon as possible.
- Seek Medical Attention – Even if you feel okay, see a doctor. Some injuries may take time to manifest, and medical records can be critical evidence.
- Document Everything – Take photos of your injuries, save any messages or threats, and write down what happened while it’s fresh in your memory.
- Identify Witnesses – If anyone saw what happened, get their names and contact information.
- Contact a Lawyer – The sooner you speak with an assault and battery lawyer, the better your chances of building a strong case.

FAQ About Assault and Battery Cases
In most civil cases, you have two years from the date of the assault to file a lawsuit. But don’t wait. Evidence gets harder to gather over time.
Yes. A civil lawsuit is separate from a criminal case. Even if the attacker wasn’t convicted of assault charges – or wasn’t charged at all – you can still pursue compensation.
Domestic assault cases are handled with extra care and confidentiality. Our domestic assault lawyer will guide you through your legal options while keeping your safety the top priority.
Every case is different. Compensation depends on the severity of your injuries and the extent of your resulting expenses. We’ll give you an honest assessment during a consultation.
