This guy is walking down the hall here at TAMUSA, swinging his book bag around his head. When he passes you, you get hit in the face by his book bag. You get knocked down and you break your nose when you hit the floor. You also have injuries to your face from the bag, which had bricks in it.

You wonder to yourself, "Should I sue that guy for assault, or should I sue him for negligence?"

Assume the guy meant to hit you with the book bag, and you can prove that.

Which would be the appropriate cause of action, assault or negligence? Explain why you chose the one you did.
