Read MoreSection 18 of the Crimes Act 1958 carries the offences of causing injury intentionally or recklessly.
The difference between this charge and being charged with Assault, is that an injury resulted from the actions of the person charged with the offence.
“Injury” can be a physical (e.g. unconsciousness, disfigurement, substantial pain or impairment of a bodily function) or psychological injury (not including emotional distress). The injury can also be temporary or permanent.
The prosecutor has to prove that you were reckless in that you were aware that your actions would probably cause injury and at the time it caused injury to another.
Defences:
Penalties: Maximum 5 years jail.
The prosecutor has to prove that you intended to cause injury to another.
