What Is a Physical Battery Lawyer?

A physical battery lawyer is a legal professional who specializes in representing victims of intentional, unlawful physical contact. At Slater | Grant, we fight for individuals who have been assaulted, injured, or violated through the willful actions of others. Physical battery is not merely a civil wrong—it can also carry criminal consequences, and victims are often entitled to compensation for both physical and emotional damages.

Whether the battery occurred during a domestic dispute, in a bar fight, at school, or on a commercial property, our legal team provides aggressive representation to ensure our clients receive justice.

Why You Need a Physical Battery Lawyer Immediately

When you’ve been physically harmed by another person, time is critical. A skilled physical battery lawyer will:

  • Gather evidence quickly before it disappears
  • Interview witnesses while their memories are fresh
  • File claims promptly within the statute of limitations
  • Negotiate or litigate aggressively to secure full compensation

At Slater | Grant, we leverage decades of experience handling high-stakes battery cases. From documenting injuries and collecting surveillance footage to dealing with insurers and opposing counsel, we manage every aspect of the case with precision.

Physical Battery Under the Law

Under Florida law, physical battery is defined as the intentional touching or striking of another person without their consent. This includes:

  • Punching, slapping, or hitting
  • Grabbing or shoving
  • Using objects or weapons to cause harm
  • Touching in a sexual or inappropriate manner without consent

Even if the incident did not result in visible injury, the act of unwanted physical contact can still qualify as battery. As your physical battery lawyer, our role is to assess the nature of your experience and build a compelling claim for damages.

Compensation Available in Physical Battery Cases

Victims of physical battery may be entitled to significant financial compensation. At Slater | Grant, we help our clients recover:

  • Medical expenses (hospital bills, physical therapy, surgeries)
  • Lost wages and future earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress and trauma
  • Punitive damages for egregious or repeated behavior

Every case is unique, which is why our legal team performs a full evaluation of your damages to ensure we pursue the maximum compensation possible.

Steps We Take in Your Physical Battery Case

When you contact Slater | Grant, here is how we approach your case:

Free Consultation

During the initial meeting, we’ll gather information about the incident and explain your legal options.

Evidence Collection

We obtain medical records, surveillance footage, police reports, witness statements, and more.

Legal Filing

Our attorneys will file a civil claim against the individual or entity responsible.

Negotiation & Settlement

In many cases, we can reach a favorable settlement without going to trial.

Litigation

If needed, we’ll present your case before a judge and jury with persuasive evidence and expert testimony.

We operate with full transparency and keep you informed at every stage of your legal journey.

When Physical Battery Occurs on Commercial Property

In many cases, battery incidents occur in public or commercial spaces such as:

  • Nightclubs and bars
  • Shopping centers
  • Hotels or motels
  • Workplaces or schools

In these scenarios, the property owner or business may be liable for negligent security. Our team of physical battery lawyers will investigate whether the premises failed to provide adequate safety measures, such as surveillance cameras or security personnel, which could have prevented the assault.

How The Process Works At Slater | Grant

1

Gather

At the beginning, we gather information from you about the accident and your injuries. We then gather documents and records from medical providers, insurance companies, the police, and others.

2

Investigate and Analyze

We then investigate and analyze your claim deeper, reviewing new medical information as you get treatment and procedures, interviewing witnesses, potentially hiring investigators and reviewing surveillance, and taking other steps to help us evaluate the value of your claim.

3

Attempt Settlement

Our attorneys then talk to you about the value of your claim and prepare a written demand to the at-fault person or company and their insurance company, requesting that they pay you money. If appropriate, we will negotiate with them and attempt to settle your claim for an amount that fairly compensates you so you can recover and move on with life.

4

Go to Court

If the defense is unwilling to pay what you deserve, we will file a lawsuit and take your case to trial. Along the way, we talk with the defense lawyers about settlement to see if their clients are willing to pay you to fairly compensate you for your injuries.
