Intentional Harm To A Person Or Property

Damages for Intentional Torts in North Carolina

One type of personal injury case involves intentional and purposeful behavior of one person or company against another with the intention of harming that the victim or his/her property. The perpetrator of such an act has committed an "intentional tort" and is liable for damages caused by the act. In general, intentional torts are divided into two categories:

1. Intentional torts against people (such as assault), and
2. Intentional torts against property (such as trespass).

It can difficult for a victim to recover damages in these cases because many insurance policies usually do not cover the intentional acts of a wrongdoer. That's why it's important to know who the defendant is and to know if they can pay for your damages. We carefully analyze these cases to realistically assess a client's ability to recover. When we determine it is possible, we fight hard to protect our client's rights to get the recovery they deserve.
