What Types of Assaults Are There?

In the state of California, there are four types of assault:

  1. Simple Assault: “Assault” and “simple assault” are interchangeable and describe any attempt to cause serious physical harm to another person. This term also covers a threat of harm that instills fear in the victim even if no physical contact is made.
  2. Battery: “Assault” and “battery” are often confused with one another, but the terms have distinctly different legal definitions. While assault may constitute a threat with intent to cause harm, battery or simple battery is the act of physically harming another individual. It may not be serious harm, but unlawful contact is made. When the action does not involve a police officer or a protected person, it is considered a misdemeanor.
  3. Aggravated Battery: This form of battery involves inflicting severe bodily harm to another individual. With aggravated battery, there is a clear and willful intent to cause harm.
  4. Assault with a Deadly Weapon: Assault with a deadly weapon involves attacking someone with a weapon that is not a firearm. An attack may also receive this designation if force caused severe bodily harm.

What Are the Damages for Assault and Battery?

Victims that suffered from an assault may be entitled to compensatory or punitive damages. These include but are not limited to:

  • Emotional distress
  • Trauma
  • Pain and suffering
  • Anxiety or paranoia
  • Medical expenses
  • Counseling
  • Physical scarring
