Your Assault and Battery Case
Assault and battery cases are different from a typical injury cases involving negligence (such as car accidents), because they involve intentional violent conduct. These types of cases present unique legal challenges that you must be aware of as a victim. Your deposition testimony is even more important in an assault and battery case than in other types of cases, as most cases arising out of a violent altercation involve "he-said-she-said" situation, whether one key question is who is more believable and therefore - whose side of the story reflects what really happened more truthfully.
