What are the different types of assault and how can they affect me?

Assault

Assault is the act of applying force to someone without their consent. This includes force that does not harm the person. There are a few different levels of assault that vary in severity:

Assault

use of force or physical contact with another person without their consent.

Assault with a weapon

an application of force with an object. This can mean a traditional weapon, like a bat or a knife. However, any object used during an assault will be considered a weapon.

Assault causing bodily harm

force that causes injury that interferes with the subject’s health or comfort.

Aggravated assault

the attack aims to wound, disfigure or endanger someone’s life.

Sexual Assault

Sexual assault is an assault of a sexual nature. This is a serious crime and just the subject of an accusation can ruin your reputation. Our sexual assault lawyer in Toronto will help defend against false claims and will bring a thorough knowledge of the law pertaining to sexual assault to create expert defence strategies.

Penalties for sexual assault vary according to severity of the act and personal circumstances of the offender. In most cases, the accused person is sentenced to jail time if convicted and DNA orders. The person will then be entered into the sex offender database accompanied by strict supervision and long-term monitoring conditions.

Domestic Assault

Domestic assault is an assault that takes place between two people who are currently or were formerly dating, married or common law. As a domestic assault law firm in Toronto, we will help you get through the hardships of domestic disturbance. Our thorough defence plans focus on understanding your situation and allow you to share your version of events.
