Attorney for Cases Involving Intentional Conduct
Intentional conduct or wrongdoing is one of three main grounds for personal injury claims. Also referred to as intentional torts, these cases involve a person who has acted intentionally and willfully to cause another person harm. Although actions of this kind may result in criminal charges, the injured party may also be able to file a separate personal injury lawsuit.
