Understanding different types of assault
Common Assault
This covers behaviour that causes someone to fear immediate unlawful violence or involves minor physical contact. It is often the most frequently charged assault offence and can occur in a wide range of situations.
Actual Bodily Harm (ABH)
ABH refers to assault that causes more than just minor harm, such as bruising, cuts or other injuries that interfere with health or comfort. It carries more serious penalties than common assault.
Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH)
GBH involves very serious injuries, such as broken bones, severe cuts or injuries requiring hospital treatment. GBH offences are among the gravest assault charges and often attract custodial sentences.
Our assault solicitors can help you with:
- Defence for assault allegations, from common assault to complex dispute cases.
- Advice and representation from a specialist ABH solicitor for allegations involving actual bodily harm.
- Support with serious injury allegations including GBH, with help from a GBH solicitor.
- Assault charges linked to public order incidents, domestic disputes or intoxication-related offences.
- Police station attendance and interview advice.
- Bail applications and challenges to restrictive conditions.
- Representation in the Magistrates’ Court and Crown Court.
- Detailed case review and tailored defence strategy preparation.
