hint: talking torts here the damages in an assault case are the same type as in an intentional infliction of emotional distress case.
true
false

Explanation:

Assault cases involve physical harm or threat of physical harm, and damages are often related to physical injuries, medical expenses, etc. Intentional infliction of emotional distress cases focus on severe emotional harm. While there can be some overlap in general compensatory damages (like for pain and suffering which can be both physical and emotional in some assault cases and purely emotional in IIED), the nature and typical emphasis of damages are different. Assault has a more direct physical - related aspect in damages, while IIED is centered on emotional harm.

Answer:

False
