How We Defend You from Aggravated Battery

It is very important you receive support from our lawyers who are familiar with the specific attributes of aggravated battery in mind. You will need more than the usual defense raised in normal criminal cases.

Our attorneys have proven success in winning trials by utilizing the following defense techniques and strategies, including those involving:

• • Self-defense from the defendant due to the accuser’s own misconduct –Often, a defendant may have had to protect themselves from the supposed victim. Self-defense is no grounds for claiming aggravated battery.
  • Lack of sufficient intent on the part of the defendant –If there is little or no evidence that the defendant was touching or striking the victim with the intention of harm, any resulting hazard still cannot count as aggravated battery.
  • Offering assistance– In some cases, the defendant might have been trying to assist a person who did not desire help. Touching a person to offer aid cannot be considered battery. This includes cases where the apparent victim was pregnant.

• Temper tantrums– When children or adults are in the middle of throwing a temper tantrum, and then accidentally hurts someone else by either their flailing behavior or throwing objects around the room, this does not count as aggravated battery. This is because the child or adult did not have a specific intent to injure any victims involved.
• Consent was given by the accuser– If both participants were involved in a type of even where they give consent to taking physical risks, such as at an athletic or sporting event, this does not count as an example of assault. A subcategory of this defense is that of mutual combat. When two people are involved in a fight by mutual means (often brawls that occur at bars end up like this), then neither of the individuals can complain that there was undue, non-consensual violence.
