What Is Intentional Injury?
An intentional injury refers to harm that is deliberately caused by another individual or entity. It encompasses a range of actions, from physical assault, such as battery and sexual assault, to emotional and psychological trauma, like harassment and defamation. These circumstances go beyond mere accidents or negligence as they involve purposeful actions aimed at causing damage or distress.
The National Crime Victimization Survey reports millions of incidents of violent crimes each year in the United States, many of which result in serious injury. Victims of these crimes require not only medical attention but also legal advocacy to navigate the aftermath of such traumatic events.
Common Examples of Intentional Injury
Our legal expertise covers a broad array of intentional injury cases, including but not limited to:
- Battery and Assault: Unwanted and harmful physical contact, often resulting in injuries that are both visible (such as bruises, fractures, and cuts) and invisible (such as psychological trauma).
- Sexual Assault: Non-consensual sexual actions that inflict physical and emotional harm, including rape and other forms of sexual violence.
- Domestic Violence: Abuse within familial or intimate relationships, causing significant physical and emotional damage.
- Defamation: False statements that damage a person’s reputation, causing emotional distress and potentially leading to economic losses.
- False Imprisonment: Unlawfully restricting another individual’s freedom of movement, causing psychological distress and sometimes physical harm.
Facing any of these assaults can be overwhelming and terrifying with long-term impact. If you have been intentionally injured, remember that you have rights and are entitled to justice.

Determining Potential Liability in Intentional Injury Cases
Determining liability in intentional injury cases is a complex process that requires a detailed understanding of the law and an in-depth investigation of the incident. At The Baum Law Firm, our experienced team thoroughly reviews your case’s circumstances, identifies all potential defendants, and establishes a solid evidentiary base. This includes individuals who directly caused harm but could also extend to entities or persons indirectly involved, such as employers, landlords, or institutions that allowed such harmful actions to occur.
The law holds accountable parties who intentionally inflict harm on others, and our firm is dedicated to ensuring they are brought to justice. With our expertise, we strive to secure the maximum compensation possible for our clients, including damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
The Legal Complexity of Intentional Injury Cases
Challenges in Legal Proceedings
Intentional injury cases are complex, often involving criminal and civil legal processes. While criminal proceedings seek to penalize the perpetrator, civil lawsuits aim to secure compensation for the victim. The Baum Law Firm specializes in civil litigation, helping victims obtain restitution and closure.
Navigating Insurance and Compensation Issues
Securing compensation in intentional injury cases can be challenging, especially when dealing with insurance claims. Our attorneys are adept at navigating these complexities, ensuring that victims receive fair compensation for their injuries, lost wages, medical expenses, and pain and suffering.
Recoverable Damages In Intentional Injury Cases
In intentional injury cases, victims are entitled to seek compensation for various damages they’ve suffered due to the harmful actions of others. Recoverable damages can be broadly categorized into economic and non-economic damages.
- Economic Damages: These are quantifiable monetary losses resulting from the incident. They include medical expenses (such as hospital bills, physical therapy costs, and ongoing treatment expenses), lost wages (if the injury prevented the victim from working), and loss of future earnings (if the injury results in long-term disability affecting the victim’s earning capacity).
- Non-Economic Damages: These damages refer to non-monetary, intangible, yet significant losses. They include pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of consortium (the deprivation of the benefits of a family relationship due to injuries).
In some cases, punitive damages may also be awarded. These are not meant to compensate the victim but to punish the perpetrator and deter them and others from committing similar acts in the future.
At The Baum Law Firm, we tirelessly pursue all types of damages on behalf of our clients to ensure they receive the compensation they truly deserve. Contact us today for a free case evaluation if you or a loved one has been intentionally injured.
