Assault and Battery In Georgia

Under Title 16, Chapter 5, Article 2 of the Georgia Code , assault involves attempting to injure another person while battery involves actually causing physical harm or visible bodily harm to another. There are different categories of assault and battery depending on how the alleged crime occurred and the circumstances involved. These include:

● Simple assault: This involves threatening or attempting to harm another. As a misdemeanor crime, it carries fines of up to $1,000, payment of restitution, and the possibility of being placed in jail or placed on probation, or both.

● Simple battery: This involves contact with another person, such as punching or pushing, and intentionally causing physical harm. It carries the same penalties as simple assault, which include fines, restitution, and jail or probation.

● Aggravated assault: This involves attempting to cause serious harm or using a deadly weapon, such as a gun or knife, or even an automobile, while committing the offense. As a felony charge, this carries fines of up to $100,000, restitution, and up to a 20-year jail sentence.

● Aggravated battery: This involves causing serious harm to a victim, which includes scars, broken bones, and injuries that result in lasting impairments, and carries the same heavy fines and lengthy jail sentence as aggravated assault.

It is important to realize that with simple assault and battery charges, there may have been extenuating circumstances involved that could result in a more severe sentence. Whenever you are facing these types of charges, you need an experienced Norcross assault and battery attorney on your side, providing you with a strong legal defense.
