you have to do that...if at all, through DA and the Courts............
I was not burned but suffered smoke inhalation. I had the truck for one hour. An auction employee drove the truck to the front of the lot for me to take delivery. I was told it was driveable. The Fire Dept had to come put out the fire.

a lawyer would want to read the contract and consider the year and history and condition of the vehicle.
if it cost $10,000 or less you can sue in small claims court

you should discuss your plight with a criminal lawyer, at a consultation, asap.
many DV victims later say they lied, so the odds are that the police and DA will not believe you.
