Understanding Assault Charges

Assault charges encompass a wide range of offenses, from simple assault to aggravated assault, and can vary in severity depending on the circumstances. In general, assault involves the intentional or reckless infliction of physical harm or injury upon another person, or the threat of such harm.

Consequences of Assault Charges

The consequences of assault charges can be severe and may include:

• Criminal Penalties – Depending on the severity of the offense, individuals convicted of assault may face fines, probation, community service, or imprisonment.
• Civil Liability – In addition to criminal penalties, individuals may also face civil lawsuits for damages resulting from the assault, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
• Collateral Consequences – A conviction for assault can have long-lasting collateral consequences, including damage to one’s reputation, loss of employment opportunities, and restrictions on firearm ownership.
