Is Battery a Felony in Florida?

In Florida, a battery can be a felony depending on the circumstances. For a battery to be considered a felony, you must have inflicted significant injury on another person or have prior battery convictions. An example would be if you shove another person, resulting in that person falling down, but sustaining no real, lasting injury, you would probably be charged with Misdemeanor Battery. If, however, in shoving the person you caused him or her to break a bone, then you might be charged with Felony Battery.
