We value our relationships with the many attorneys and law firms that ask us to help on their intentional tort cases. When you refer a case to us, you and your client benefit. We have a long history of trying cases in the courtroom and turning difficult, complex intentional tort cases into high-value settlements or judgments.
Intentional Harm
Have you experienced an injury because someone intentionally caused you harm? In legal terms, that action is an intentional tort; and Berman & Simmons personal injury lawyers are here to help. An intentional tort case does not always involve physical injury, either; your damages may involve harm to your reputation or your economic interests.
We will work with you to evaluate your situation and help you recover appropriate damages for your physical or emotional injuries or other harm. In some instances, you may be able to recover punitive damages, as well.
The most common types of intentional torts are:
Assault and Battery: A person puts you in fear of physical harm or intentionally and without permission causes physical contact with you
False imprisonment: A person intentionally restrains or prevents you from coming and going as you please
Conversion: A person steals from you
Defamation / Slander / Libel: A person makes false statements about you, causing harm. If the statement is written, it is called libel; if oral, it is called slander.

How much will our services cost?
You may be wondering how you will pay legal fees while your lawsuit is pending. The good news is—you won't pay anything upfront. We represent all intentional tort, accident and personal injury clients on a contingent fee basis. This means we receive fees for our services only if we win. When we've successfully prevailed upon the responsible party or insurer to pay you, that's when we'll receive our payment, as well. Your lawsuit begins with a free case evaluation with a Berman & Simmons lawyer. We will thoroughly explain the details of our fee arrangement during this first consultation.
