Even a single punch can cause grievous bodily harm and being charged with that offence is very serious indeed. The attached statistics demonstrate that actual imprisonment is by far the most likely penalty, with 88% of those convicted of it receiving full time prison.

For certain cases pertaining to GBH charges, the offence range varies significantly, and relevant factors will include the nature of the injuries sustained, the age of the offender, the criminal history of the offender, whether or not a weapon was used, whether the offence was established by one blow or whether there was a sustained attack on the complainant.

If you’ve been charged with causing grievous bodily harm in Coffs Harbour, Woolgoolga, Maclean, Grafton, Yamba, Northern NSW, The Gold Coast or Brisbane, contact Mark Savic Legal today to discuss your options.
