Because it was an intentional tort, you could be awarded both compensatory and punitive damages.
Keep in mind that you may not be awarded much, and collecting could be impossible. |

Keep in mind that you may not be awarded much, and collecting could be impossible. | In other words, it would be a waste of YOUR time and money. |
