tortious battery

Read a random definition: holograph

A quick definition of tortious battery:

Tortious battery is when someone intentionally and offensively touches another person without a good reason. This can include hitting, pushing, or even spitting on someone. It is against the law and can result in criminal charges. If the battery is more severe, such as using a weapon or causing serious harm, it is called aggravated battery. Sexual battery is when someone forces sexual contact on another person. Simple battery is when there is no serious harm or aggravating circumstances. It is important to always respect other people's personal space and not touch them without their permission.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Tortious battery is an intentional and offensive touching of another person without lawful justification. It is a type of battery that can result in legal action being taken against the person who committed the act.

Example: If someone intentionally hits another person without their consent, that is considered tortious battery. For example, if someone punches another person in the face during an argument, that would be considered tortious battery.

Explanation: The example illustrates the definition of tortious battery because it involves an intentional and offensive touching of another person without their consent. The act of punching someone in the face is considered harmful and offensive, and therefore falls under the definition of tortious battery. If the victim decides to take legal action, the person who committed the act could be held responsible for their actions.
