Moreover is Hitting someone with a door assault.

Is hitting someone with a car assault. This isnt completely cut and dried but in my opinion striking someone with the door of a stopped vehicle is either simple assault or self-defense. You can pursue a criminal complaint. Just because the door is attached to a car doesnt make it vehicular assault.

Such statutes generally involve the operation of the vehicle. Rather assault occurs when someone threatens harm. You do not have to actually hurt someone to be convicted of battery.

If you swung a bat intending to hit a baseball but you accidentally hit the person standing behind you you did not commit an assault with a deadly weapon because you did not do so willfully. The answer depends to some degree on the severity of injury suffered by the man punched if any. So if the person in the car believed they were likely to be injured if the attack continues then yes it would be assault.

In Georgia if someone is more than 50 at fault they cannot pursue a claim for damages against the other driver. Hes committed malicious destruction or property and maybe even an assault as opposed to assault and battery. He is guilty of dangerous driving drink driving and assault by beating but surely these are not reflecting the full gravity of intentionally driving a car at someone at speed.

Such statutes generally involve the operation of the vehicle. By the letter of the law common assault or battery is occasioned where there is more than merely transient or trifling contact. You can get an estimate from a body shop and sue him in small claims court.

In fact the legal definition and elements of proof for assault do not ever mention any kind of physical contactonly the reasonable belief that harmful or offensive contact will be inflicted on the victim. Examples of assault include swinging a baseball bat at someone but not hitting them waving your fist at someone without making contact and pointing a gun loaded or not at someone while they are aware that you are pointing a gun at them. Just because the door is attached to a car doesnt make it vehicular assault.
