Intentional Torts Attorney

Assaulted or Intentionally Harmed? We’ll Help You Pursue Justice Through Civil Action

Not all personal injury cases are accidents. If you were hurt on purpose—through an assault, false imprisonment, or other deliberate act—you may have the right to file a civil lawsuit. These cases fall under what's known as intentional tort law.


We represent individuals in Yonkers, the Bronx, and throughout NYC who have suffered serious harm due to the intentional actions of others. Free consultations available 24/7.

What Is an Intentional Tort?

Intentional torts involve deliberate harm—meaning someone acted with the intent to injure, threaten, or violate your personal rights. These civil cases often arise from:

1

Physical assault or battery

2

Sexual assault

3

Invasion of privacy

4

Stalking or harassment

5

False imprisonment or unlawful restraint

6

Intentional infliction of emotional distress

7

Trespassing that causes harm

8

Threats or intimidation involving physical contact

Unlike criminal cases, which aim to punish the offender, civil lawsuits focus on compensating the victim.

Civil vs. Criminal Proceedings

Even if the person who harmed you is facing criminal charges—or already served time—you may still be able to file a civil claim. The standard of proof is different, and civil claims are handled in separate courts.


We’ll explain the differences and help you pursue the best course of action for your situation.

Intentional tort victims may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical expenses & psychological treatment
  • Lost wages or impact on employment
  • Pain & suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Permanent injury or disability
  • Costs of relocation or security measures
  • Punitive damages (in some cases, to punish extreme misconduct)

We’ll take the time to understand what you’ve been through and build a case that fully reflects your losses.

Who Can Be Held Liable

In intentional tort cases, the primary defendant is usually the individual who caused the harm. But in some cases, others may share legal responsibility, including:


  • Property owners who failed to provide security
  • Employers who ignored or enabled abusive behavior
  • Institutions or organizations that covered up misconduct

We investigate all potential sources of liability to help you recover what you’re owed.
