What defines intentional harm

A person's actions that cause direct harm or loss to another person or his or her property may be found to be an intentional act of personal injury. The infliction of emotional distress, independent of whether physical harm transpired, is also considered an intentional act of personal injury.

It does not matter whether the act was planned in advance or was spur-of-the-moment, although the degree of planning may have an effect on the type of damages awarded.

Acts involving physical force include:

• Assault;
• Battery;
• False imprisonment;
• Arson;
• Vandalism.

Acts involving business transactions include:

• Investor fraud;
• Fraudulent transfer of assets;
• Damage to business reputation.
