What is Considered Assault?

When one thinks of assault, they usually picture being inflicted by physical harm that leaves bruises or open wounds. While this sort of injury is certainly the results of abuse, assault charges are much more far-reaching. Assault includes any method used to inflict fear on another person and make them afraid that they are going to be abused. For example, if someone threatens you and makes it appear that they are truly going to cause harm, it maybe considered assault even if they don’t actually follow through with any action. Assault often occurs during bar-room altercations, cases of road-rage, or even disagreements between friends.

What is Aggravated Assault?

Aggravated assault is a charge where the perpetrator truly does take action and causes or attempts to cause physical injury to the victim. These do not include accidents, but are willful attempts to hurt another person with no consideration for their life and well-being.

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

While aggravated assault generally includes incidents where an injury occurs, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon is the exception to the rule. If one person uses a dangerous and deadly weapon such as a gun to threaten their victim, it is not considered simply assault, but instead aggravated assault with a deadly weapon since the victim had reason to fear for their life.

What is Domestic Assault?

While families are supposed to be safe haven from the rest of the world, this is not always the case. Sadly, many people are subjected to threats, abuse, and violence from their parents, siblings, and spouses. Forcible confinement is a type of abuse where the victim is kept in one place against their will. Forcible confinement does not include simple things such as teenagers being grounded, but is instead a control technique used hold the victim hostage using threats, manipulation, and physical methods. While forcible confinement can happen to anyone, it is most often found in domestic cases. If you have faced abuse at the hands of a family member, you need a domestic assault lawyer who can handle your case!
