2nd Degree Assault is more serious than Simple or 3rd Degree Assault, but not as serious as Aggravated or 1st Degree Assault. This basically means that serious bodily harm had been directly or indirectly inflicted on one person by another. Serious bodily harm would probably be classified as broken bones, dislocations, lacerations/incisions, damaged ligaments, concussions, or anything else that would have a moderate to severe impact on a person's ability to live a normal life.

Second degree assault is not as fatal as first degree assault, but isn't as light as first degree assault. Second degree assault is when a person, although planning to hurt the victim, does not harm as much as first degree assault. This is like the difference between attacking with one's fists, or attacking with a firearm.
