"As always, it's the intent that matters." That's certainly not a universal Legal Standard. If I'm harmed, but you didn't "intend" to harm me, does that nullify my Claim? Hardly. | ||

IANAL, but yes, I believe it can nullify the claim. Bumping into someone on the sidewalk is only battery if the prosecution demonstrates intent to harm. | ||

Lack of intent doesn’t mean your claim is nullified. “Intent matters” means it’s taken into account when deciding what damages were wrought | ||

Voluntary manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter, degrees of murder, hate crimes. | ||
