Explanation:
Assault refers to a situation when a person is threatened and physically caused grievous bodily harm by another person. Assault can both be a civil and criminal wrong. When it is a civil wrong, you claim damages (money) for the harm caused by the act of another. When it is a criminal wrong, the person who assaulted another person will be sentenced to prison for a specified number of months or years depending on how grievous the harm is by a Court of Law. In the United States, the maximum sentence given to a person guilty of assault depends on the Jurisdiction (States).
To prove an assault, certain elements must be present, namely;
- That the defendant was the one that committed the wrong.
- That the defendant intentionally caused the victim grievous bodily harm.
- That the Defendant caused the victim to have grievous bodily harm.
