Assault is defined as offensive contact against another person, usually meaning physical contact, though threats and imposition of fear can also lead to assault charges. In order for a person to be convicted of aggravated assault, however, serious or aggravated injury must occur, according to Section 750.81a of the Michigan Penal Code. What exactly is a serious or aggravated injury? This is a point that confuses many, especially those trying to determine if they are under investigation for assault or aggravated assault. As defined by law, an aggravated or serious injury means any injury requiring immediate medical treatment, any injury causing disfigurement, or any injury causing impairment (either of a body part or of a person’s health).
As soon as police question you or your loved one about an assault that has taken place, you should get in touch with an attorney.

The penalties for a first offense aggravated assault charge include up to 1 year in prison and a $1,000 fine, along with a misdemeanor record.

Additionally, if intent to cause great bodily harm or intent to murder are involved, possible jail time could increase by a decade or more, and the charges would escalate to felony status.
