If you have been harmed by another or have been the victim of an assault or battery, you should immediately seek the advice of legal professionals like The Guardians of the Injured. As soon as you have received proper medical care, you need to seek compensation for the physical, emotional, and financial damages you may have suffered from the attack.
Very often, assault and battery incidents are also criminal acts, as well as a personal injury case. This is why you want highly skilled and specialized lawyers to help you manage your case. At The Guardians of the Injured, we provide a legal team who knows how to take on your case and get you the compensation you deserve. Our legal professionals specialize in these challenging cases and in getting real results.
What Are Assault and Battery?
In California, battery is “any willful and unlawful use of force or violence upon the person of another.” Assault, while often used synonymously, is a legally different term. Simply put, assault is the attempted act of violence, and battery is the violence itself. Usually, these two charges come together when one attempts violence on another and succeeds.
How Will a Lawyer Help Me if I Have Been a Victim of Assault?
If you were harmed by an intentional act like assault or battery, you might be owed compensation for medical expenses, loss of income, loss of earning ability, and general pain and suffering. These types of cases can also result in you receiving any punitive damages filed against the defendant. At The Guardians of the Injured, we ensure your injuries are comfortably covered and that you have everything you need to move on and live your best life.

Assault and Battery Claims FAQ
If you plan to bring a civil case to completion, you will need legal experts with the best minds for the job. At The Guardians of the Injured, our legal team understands how a large settlement can be obtained, even if no one is convicted of a crime. We can fight for your compensation due to injuries and medical treatments, lost income or future earnings, and more.
In most cases, your claim will not require a lengthy court process. The majority of these issues are settled to avoid the costs and time needed to decide a case. In fact, over 90% of successful claims do not go to trial.
In California, if you plan to sue somebody for assault, you will need to prove that the person being sued “acted with the intention to make a harmful or offensive contact” or “the victim believed they were about to be so contacted.” This will typically include threats of various types.
If you plan to sue for battery, you need to prove that “a person made contact with a victim or caused the victim to be contacted, with the intent to harm or offend the victim,”
While both of these incidents often occur together, that is not always the case.
The time it takes for a settlement to be resolved will vary significantly between different situations and will often take longer relative to the severity of the case and the amount of money involved. We will do everything we can to move our process along as quickly as possible without compromising your case’s quality.
Typically, after your initial case review, you can get a ballpark number on possible earnings and timelines based on past cases with similar circumstances. It is impossible to give a complex number without first looking at medical records, gathering statements, and weighing several relevant factors.
