A quick definition of civil assault:

Civil assault is when someone threatens or uses force on another person, causing them to fear they will be hurt. It is considered a type of harm that can lead to a lawsuit, rather than a criminal charge. This can happen even if no physical contact is made. For example, if someone threatens to hit another person, that can be considered civil assault.

A more thorough explanation:

Civil assault is a type of assault that is considered a tort, which means it is a wrongful act that causes harm to someone and can be the basis for a lawsuit. It is different from criminal assault, which is a crime that can result in punishment by the government.

An example of civil assault is when someone threatens to harm another person and causes them to fear for their safety, but does not actually physically harm them. If the victim suffers emotional distress or other damages as a result of the threat, they may be able to sue the person who made the threat for civil assault.

Another example is when someone intentionally touches another person in a harmful or offensive way without their consent. This can also be considered civil assault and can result in a lawsuit for damages.

Overall, civil assault is a legal concept that allows victims of harmful or threatening behavior to seek compensation for their damages through the civil court system.
