Personal injury attorneys in Baltimore have brought lawsuits for so called 'intentional torts', like civil assault, or civil battery. The intentional tort of false imprisonment [and the related action of false arrest] are other lawsuits that are occasionally filed in Baltimore. Seasoned personal injury attorneys in Baltimore know that the existence of "probable cause" to detain another is an often stated defense to a charge of false imprisonment.We've discussed in other chapters that an act of negligence-e.g. the act that causes a Baltimore car accident- is a tort, or a tortious act. A false imprisonment occurs when one's freedom of movement is restrained against their will. One falsely imprisoned may recover damages.
