Noordanus AdvocatuurSerious Assault

Serious Assault

If you are suspected of assault, it can appear on your summons in various forms, ranging from simple assault to serious assault or public violence. In cases of suspected assault, you are accused of causing harm or injury to another person. According to the law, assault is punishable by imprisonment for up to three years or a fine of the fourth category. If the assault results in serious bodily harm, the offender may be sentenced to imprisonment for up to four years or a fine of the fourth category. In cases where the assault leads to death, the offender may be sentenced to imprisonment for up to six years or a fine of the fourth category. However, there are national guidelines that are considered when determining the punishment. Noordanus Advocatuur is familiar with these guidelines and can discuss them with you.

In the case of public violence, actions were taken jointly with others, and it may not be entirely clear who exactly delivered each blow or kick. However, establishing individual responsibility for each act is not necessary for a conviction. What matters is that the defendant made a significant contribution to the violence. It is crucial that you have legal representation at the hearing so that you can present a legal defense against the accusation.
