Causing someone physical harm or injury that doesn't rise to the level of a felony assault.

What Right Law Group attorneys say

But the most common ones we generally see are assault, which is causing someone physical harm, but it doesn't rise to the level of a felony assault, which would be causing actual potentially permanent damage. But causing injury to someone will result in you being charged with a misdemeanor assault. And with those, you could be facing up to a year in jail.
