Best Answer

Unless the defendant is being charged with a federal crime, punishments generally vary for crimes between each state. Speak to a local public defender's office, they should be able to tell you what the potential punishment is for the crime. If you want, most criminal defense lawyers allow for free consultations before they take on a case, you might be able to get the necessary information from them. Otherwise, just Google your state's criminal code, and try to match up the relevant crime with the state's sentencing guidelines.

Aggravated assault is a crime, not a tort. Crimes are prosecuted by the state, and are not private law suits.

However, you can file a suit for the appropriate tort. Each state defines torts differently, but there is typically a tort for assault & battery that can be used to make a claim against a person that intentionally physically injured you.
