AMI 418 Issues—Claim for Damages Based Upon Battery—Burden of Proof

(Plaintiff) claims that (defendant) committed battery and has the burden of proving each of two essential propositions:

First, that (defendant) acted with intent to cause some harmful or offensive contact with a person, or acted with the intent to create the apprehension of some harmful or offensive contact with a person; and

Second, that a harmful or offensive contact with (plaintiff) resulted.

[If you find from the evidence in this case that both of these propositions have been proved, then your verdict should be for (plaintiff); but if, on the other hand, you find from the evidence that any of these propositions has not been proved, then your verdict should be for (defendant).]
