Definition

A Castle Doctrine Claim refers to a legal principle that allows a person to use force, including deadly force, in defense of their home or dwelling without the duty to retreat. This doctrine is based on the premise that one's home is their castle, and they have the right to protect it and its occupants from intruders or attackers.
