Domestic Violence​ in Fairfield, Hayward, and San Jose

Domestic violence is a general term for abuse that takes place within a family or close friendship. This mistreatment may be psychological, financial, emotional, or physical. Domestic violence is most clearly identified by the fact that it involves two or more individuals from the same home, family, or relationship. Domestic violence can have serious civil and criminal consequences.

Domestic violence victims in California have the legal right to sue their abuser for damages in a personal injury lawsuit. These legal actions are civil rather than criminal in nature. Depending on the kind of abuse they experienced, a victim may pursue a variety of personal injury claims. An example of a civil action that domestic violence victims could file is for damages based on assault, battery, sexual battery, intentional infliction of mental distress, stalking, or elder abuse.
