Tonight, my friend parked very close to a drive way of my neighbor who had previous complains from other people on the block for screaming at people parking next to his drive way. Tonight, my friend got punched by this guy for parking close to his drive way. We called the cops, pressed charges and need to go to court to give more information about the incident. There were witnesses to this event, and I want to know what will probably happen, law wise? Criminal record for that person, monetary compensation, etc? What are the procedures and actions to make him pay as much as possible or make him regret his decision to hit someone not in the money sort of way.

you said near his driveway so there was no trespassing.Cool, now, the *sshole will have to go to court on simple assault charges and will end up paying court cost. monetarily,his assault did not maime or disfigure this person but still he could file for damages if he goes to the hospitalon complaints of this bodily injury

Punishment (if convicted) will depend on the actual charge (are we talking felony assault and battery?), but also how badly your friend was hurt and if the attacker has a previous criminal record. If convicted, it will go on the attacker's record. This will be a real ***** for him if he has been charged with a felony. If you want monetary compensation, you will have to file a seperate civil suit against the attacker. Criminal courts do not award monetary compensation.

Good for you!! People need to take action against bullies!! He will probably get in trouble with the judge for hitting somebody, but you would need a lawyer to tell you how to sue him or whatever you want. He would probably have to pay for that, too!

If he wasn't blocking the man's driveway he should file charges for assault. If he had to seek medical treatment he needs to sue for those damages as well.
