Re: Law suit

Once the ice hit you, it became a battery, and you would have both a civil and criminal action. You need to be able to prove it of course. The only problem is your level of damages. I will assume you were in no way an instigator, so I suspect Burger King may want to satisfy your claim to avoid bad publicity.

Certainly it would depend on the circumstances, but assault is absolutely actionable.
