After an Assault: Get the Right Assault Injury Lawyers on Your Side, Fighting for Your Rights
Millions of assaults occur every year. Each instance insults your human dignity and should never be taken lightly. If you have suffered injuries from an assault, you will want to proceed carefully with skilled legal advice and guidance.
Assault Must Be Reported—and You Should be Compensated For Your Injuries
In Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and neighboring states, assault can fall into several categories, including harassment, menacing, stalking, reckless endangerment, simple or first-degree assault, and aggravated or second-degree assault.
Harassment occurs when someone has the intent to harass, annoy, or frighten another person by attempting, threatening, or actually hitting, shoving, kicking, or otherwise harming another person, resulting in minimal injuries.
Simple assault occurs when someone attempts to cause, or intentionally, knowingly or recklessly causes another person more serious bodily injury.
Aggravated assault is an even more serious form of assault. This occurs when someone attempts to cause serious bodily harm to another person or intentionally causes injury, knowingly or recklessly, in ways that show an extreme indifference to the value of human life.
Assault can include:
- Bodily harm and/or aggravated harassment toward another person
- Recklessly endangering another person, including those in public service
- Ethnic, homophobic, religious or racial intimidation
- Physical or verbal threats and abuse
- Propelling missiles into an occupied vehicle or onto a roadway
- Firing a firearm into an occupied building
- Negligently causing another person bodily injury with a deadly weapon
- Use of paintball guns and paintball markers
- Use of tear gas or noxious gas in labor disputes
- Neglect of care-dependent person
- Harassment
- Stalking

- Administering drugs or alcohol without the other person’s consent
