Many people don’t know that assault has consequences in civil court as well as criminal court. Many people also don’t see how wide-ranging the civil implications of assault can be. In both forums, the extent of physical injury is often irrelevant. Many victims sustain serious injuries in “minor” assaults. Brain injuries are a good example.
Almost all assault cases, no matter how slight, include falls. When victims fall and land hard, their brains slam against the insides of their skulls. Frequently, doctors do not detect brain bleeding, swelling, and other serious issues until it’s too late to effectively treat them. That’s primarily because initial brain injury symptoms mimic the symptoms of accident shock, a temporary condition that goes away on its own.

Injuries vary significantly in these cases, as do the types of assault cases. Some just happen, while others are premeditated. In California, landlords and property owners must provide a safe environment, which typically includes well-lit common areas, working cameras, secure locks, proper screening of customers, and live security guards.
Common assault cases include:
Intentional tripping
Shoving or pushing
Hitting or punching
Bar fights
Sexual assault and rape
Domestic violence
We mentioned criminal and civil courts above. Criminal courts punish offenders. Civil courts compensate victims and hold negligent parties responsible for the injuries they either directly or indirectly cause.
The burden of proof is different in these two forums as well. A criminal court prosecutor must prove guilt beyond any reasonable doubt. But a Lawyer for Assault Charges in Los Angeles must only prove negligence, or a lack of care, by a preponderance of the evidence, or more likely than not.
Evidence in an assault case usually includes witness statements, medical bills, and the police accident report. Criminal court prosecutors have tough jobs. They must establish their cases with only witness statements and sometimes medical bills. But a Lawyer for Assault Charges can typically use all three kinds of evidence.
Sometimes, the evidence is weak in one area. Medical bills are a good example. These documents often only include clinical information about diagnosis and treatment. They often don’t include the need for future medical procedures and treatment notes. These items are critical to economic and noneconomic damages in a civil case.
To fill in the gap, a Los Angeles assault and battery lawyer often partners with an independent doctor. This professional provides the critical missing pieces of the puzzle.
