Some Of the Common Intentional Torts to Know If
you wish to know about intentional torts, we
would like to tell you that seven intentional
torts exist under tort law. Three of them are
conversion, trespass to property, and trespass to
chattels. The other four are under personal
battery, assault, false imprisonment, and
intentional infliction. However, some torts for
which people contact an attorney are assault,
battery, and trespass to property, among these
seven. If you have been the victim of any of
these torts, you need to do the needful and, most
importantly, get in touch with a lawyer!

• Today, we would like to discuss some of the
  common torts below.
• Battery
• Do you know when you can name an incident
  battery? This is something when someone
  intentionally touches you. The battery can
  include throwing something at the plaintiff that
  does not require physical touching or poisoning
  food. Since the battery is an intentional tort,
  no harm needs to be done. It will be considered
  an offensive or harmful act even if you do not
  get any serious injury if someone punches you.
  In this case, you can get in touch with Personal
  Injury Attorney Florida.

• Tresspass to chattels
• If you wish to know about chattels, let us tell
  you that it is something moveable such as car,
  animal, computer, or clothing. You can name
  anything as chattel if its not real property.
  However, this tort will require the defendants
  to interfere with the plaintiffs chattel as we
  all know, interfering is not just about touching
  anyones property. Either is substantially using
  this. When someone damages the property, it will
  be considered as trespass to the chattel.
• Assault
• What if someone inappropriately touches you?
  Assault is when someone does that, and you create
  immediate apprehension of that offensive touch.
  You will surely hear both terms assault and
  battery as they are generally used together to
  have the same meaning, but is that true? Of
  course, not. They both have different
  definitions. Suppose someone is throwing
  something at you and miss the target this is

• called assault. This is not any harm but creating
  the expectation of harm. In case the punch
  connects, it will be considered as a battery by
  the law.
• Intentional infliction
• Intentional infliction is generally known as
  outrage. In this act, if the defendants behavior
  is somehow crazy and it causes you emotional
  distress. In this situation, the behavior must be
  outrageous such as telling someone you know is
  dead when that person is still alive. However,
  the mental distress must be severe to take any
  action. Since the physical effects are not
  required, you should present the severity of
  your emotional distress. You may not know, but
  this is the only personal tort where the intent
  is unnecessary, but recklessness is enough.
• Everyone should be aware of these intentional
  torts to stay awake and take action wherever its
  necessary. However, getting in touch with a
  lawyer is the best way to deal with any of these!
