excusable assault

Read a random definition: boni homines

A quick definition of excusable assault:

Excusable assault is a type of assault that happens by accident or while doing something legal with caution and without intending to break the law. It is not considered a crime and does not result in criminal liability.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Excusable assault is a type of assault that is committed accidentally or while doing a lawful act with ordinary caution and without any unlawful intent.

For example, if someone is playing a game of basketball and accidentally hits another player in the face with the ball, it would be considered an excusable assault because it was not intentional and occurred while playing a lawful game.

Another example would be if a person is driving a car and accidentally hits a pedestrian who suddenly runs into the street. This would also be considered an excusable assault because it was not intentional and occurred while the person was driving lawfully.

These examples illustrate that excusable assault is not a criminal act because it was not done with the intent to harm someone and occurred while doing a lawful act with ordinary caution.
