Suppose a person is accused of battery resulting in significant bodily harm to another person. In that case, he or she is likely to face charges of battery with substantial bodily harm, which will result in harsher penalties if there’s a conviction. Battery with substantial bodily harm is automatically charged as a Category C felony offense in Nevada. If convicted, a defendant can face up to five years in prison and fines up to $10,000.
Further, a defendant in state custody (i.e., prison, jail, parole, probation) charged for battery with substantial harm can face a Category B felony offense, resulting in up to six years imprisonment.
