Frequently Asked Questions

Generally speaking, we must show that the other person acted with intent to cause harm or that their actions were so dangerous, and reckless, that they should have known that harm would result.

 

There are several types of intentional torts. They may be personal: intentional infliction of emotional distress, false imprisonment, defamation, fraud, assault, and battery. They may be property-related: conversion and trespass.

 

They differ from claim to claim.  In general they involve:

  1. Intent.
  2. Causation.
  3. Damage.

Typically, you have two years to file a claim for some intentional torts but with some claims it is one year.

 

When most people think of “false imprisonment,” it often has to do with locking someone inside a room and not providing them with an exit. However, there are other types of false imprisonment, such as someone pointing a gun at another person and saying: “If you move an inch, I will fire.”
