Understanding Assault and Battery Charges in California
While “assault” and “battery” are often used together, California law treats them as separate crimes:
-
Assault (PC 240): The attempt or threat to cause harm to another person — even without physical contact.
-
Battery (PC 242): The actual physical contact or harm inflicted on another person.
More serious versions of these offenses include:
-
PC 243(d): Battery causing serious bodily injury
-
PC 245(a): Assault with a deadly weapon or force likely to cause great bodily harm
-
PC 368: Elder or dependent adult assault
Even a minor incident can lead to serious consequences — including jail time, fines, and protective orders — which makes securing release quickly a top priority.

Here are some of the most common charges to need bailed out for with the presumptive bail.

FAQs
-
What’s the difference between assault and battery?
Under California law, assault (PC 240) is the attempt or threat to injure someone — even without making physical contact.
Battery (PC 242) is the actual physical contact or harm inflicted on another person.
In short: assault is the attempt, battery is the act. -
Can someone get bail for assault or battery charges?
Yes. In most cases, bail is available, even for felony assault charges. Judges may set higher bail for cases involving weapons, serious injuries, or repeat offenses, but a licensed bail agent can post bond on your behalf so the defendant can be released while awaiting trial.
-
How long does it take to be released after posting bail?
Release usually happens within 2–6 hours after the bail bond is posted, depending on the jail’s workload and booking status. At Bail House Bail Bonds, our agents work directly with the Placer County Jail in Auburn or the South Placer County Jail in Auburn to expedite every release.
-
What happens after someone is released on bail for assault or battery?
After release, the defendant must:
-
Attend all scheduled court appearances
-
Follow any protective or restraining orders
-
Avoid further legal issues
-
Maintain contact with their attorney
Failing to appear in court or violating conditions can lead to bail forfeiture and additional charges.
-
-
Can someone be falsely accused of assault or battery?
Yes. These cases often stem from misunderstandings, self-defense situations, or false claims made during heated disputes. Posting bail quickly allows the accused to work with legal counsel and gather evidence to protect their rights.
-
What if I’m out of state but need to post bail in California?
You don’t have to be local. We can complete the entire bail process by phone, including electronic paperwork and payment. We’ll communicate directly with the jail so you can handle everything from wherever you are.
-
What is the bail process in Placer County?
When someone is arrested in Placer County, here’s how the process works:
-
Booking and Bail Amount Setting
The defendant is taken to a Placer County Jail, where they are booked, and a judge sets the bail amount. -
Choose a Bail Bond Service
Instead of paying the full bail upfront, you can secure a bail bond by paying a bonding company a premium. The premium is set at 10% of the bail amount. -
Release from Jail
If a bond is processed, the bondsman expedites the process to secure release of the inmate quickly. -
Court Appearances
By posting bail, the defendant agrees to appear at all scheduled court dates to avoid bond forfeiture (bond forfeiture results in a warrant for arrest).
-
-
Do you offer payment plans for bail premiums?
No. At Bail House Bail Bonds we do not offer payment plans. The premium must be paid in full at the time of service.
At Bail House Bail Bonds we accept cash payments in person at our offices. Please call ahead to arrange with us when you will come to the office to make your payment. We also accept verified personal checks and all major credit cards.
