<h2><strong>Types of Assault</strong></h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Felonious assault</strong> is an unlawful attack or attempted attack, accomplished through force or violence, that causes physical injury to another person. This type of <a href="http://www.attorneys.com/legal_center/articles/criminal_defense/s/c/the_basics_of_criminal_assault/" target="_blank">assault</a> involves the use of weapons and/or serious injury. If a weapon is used, an attack is deemed a felonious assault even if no injury occurs. But there need not be a weapon for this designation. If a serious injury occurs due to an assault using hands, fists, or feet, it is also deemed a felonious assault. Therefore, both serious resulting injuries and the use of weapons are triggers for a felonious assault. Assault and battery is an example of a felonious assault. This is a type of incident that results in actual contact made and creates a need for medical attention to the victim.</li>
<li><strong>Simple assault</strong> occurs when a weapon is not used and the resulting injuries that are caused to the victim are minor in nature.</li>
<li><strong>Physical assault</strong> causes grievous bodily harm, such as prior to the commission of a murder or <a href="http://www.attorneys.com/legal_center/articles/criminal_defense/illinois/c/illinois_assault_defenses/" target="_blank">aggravated assault</a>.</li>
<li><strong>Aggravated assault</strong> occurs with the use of a weapon and/or an amount of increased force.</li>
<li><strong>Sexual assault </strong>involves the use of force against the will of the victim, resulting in a rape, molestation, sodomy or similar sexual offense.</li>
<li><strong>Verbal assault </strong>&ndash; this is a type of non-physical, oral assault that results in an emotional, mental, and/or psychological injury to the victim, rather than a physical bodily injury.</li>
