During a disagreement at a club, one patron deliberately makes unwanted physical contact with another patron, resulting in minor injuries. The injured patron decides to file a lawsuit. Which intentional tort is most likely at issue?
Battery involves intentional and harmful or offensive physical contact without consent. In this scenario, the deliberate unwanted physical contact that caused injury fits the definition of battery. Assault involves creating a reasonable apprehension of imminent harmful contact, false imprisonment involves unlawful restraint, and negligence involves a failure to exercise reasonable care, none of which accurately describe the situation.
