Battery is defined as an illegal touching of another person. This can be as small as grabbing someone’s shoulder or wrist all the way up to imposing serious harm on another person. If you are involved in an argument that becomes physical and the other person punches you in the face, this is considered an “intentional tort.” In all situations in a pharmacy, you should make sure that you never, ever touch a customer in any way. This country has become so “sue happy” and our courts are full of frivolous lawsuits that the people who really need the help and have a viable case cannot get any legal team to take their case. Ironically, it is call the “Tort Reform” in the state of Texas. I know this from personal experience.
