Question:
Can you get sued for hitting someone in the face?

(Don't know if this goes here or not)

No, you can just run around and hit everyone in the face.

I hope you get raped in prison.

No. In my professional opinion as a 3rd year law student there is absolutely no legal basis upon which you can be sued for hitting someone in the face. In fact it would most likely be beneficial for you to go into your nearest gym or library and hit as many people in the face as possible. Standing at the door and hitting people as they come in will increase your ability to copulate with the opposite sex.

Yes, it counts as an assault, battery and trespass against the person.

YOu can sue them AND get them arrested.

And the cops can't get you if they're dead.
And the government can't get you if they're dead.
etc.

I'm sure you were being facetious though.

Sue? only if you can prove certain amounts of damages. Say if he broke your nose etcetera, then yes, you can sue for medical bills and whatnot.

The basis of tort law is monetary compensation, nothing else. If nothing happened as a result of the face punch, you can't sue since there is no reward for it.

However, you can report the fucker to the police.

To be technical (at least in Australia), it's only battery; assault is "the creation of an apprehension of imminent harm" in the guy who gets hit, unless you count the statute definition as well. Trespass to person covers the above, as well as false imprisonment. And in case nobody noticed, lawfag here.

Also, don't really think this belongs on /fit/, but who gives a shit.

It's still a tortious battery. They could recover general damages, they don't have to be special.

Okay, in the case of a sucker punch it wouldn't be assault, as there was no appreciation in expectant harm.

Lawfag here too :3

General damages haven't been awarded for personal injuries in courts for a long time now. While it is true that the applicane can sue, no sane judge would pass an amount greater than 20k, which is the minimum amount for the lawyer to break even with their cut of the pay. It will have to go into exemplary damages or aggravated damages for it to be worth anything.

Have a buddy of mine who got hit in the face and the dude got no punishment what so ever.

Funny story really, my mate and this random dude sits in the bar of a random pub. drinking beer and mostly enjoying themselves.

After a while of chatting with eachother they start to argue (like you do when youre drunk), and after a short period of time, my mate decides to witdraw himself to a better spot on in the pub.

When standing up, the dude pops up and whams his fist in to my mates face "bam". Claiming he got so frightened by my buddys agresive behaviour of standing up (beleving he was to punsh him, had he not struck the first blow).

So to conclude, this random guy hits my mate in the face, only to claim he punched back in self defence before anything had actually happened.... and he walked!
only in sweden can things become so fucked up....

This world really does need more face punchings. It's surprising what some people will say knowing that they'll get away with it.

conan the barbarian once said: Barbarians are more polite than civilized folk, because civilized people can say things with the reasonable expectation that their heads wont get split open with an axe.
Well, he said something close to that, I could find the exact quote if anyone actually cared.

Conan also said whats best in life is: "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women."

I agree with Conan
