A: You can report the crime to the police, and if the attacker is found guilty you may receive certain funds from the defendant as part of his/her criminal sentence. You may also be able to sue the attacker for civil damages. More details are necessary to provide a professional analysis of your issue. The best first step is an Initial Consultation with an Attorney such as myself. You can read more about me, my credentials, awards, honors, testimonials, and media appearances/ publications on my law practice website, www.AliEsq.com. I practice law in CA, NY, MA, WA, and DC in the following areas of law: Business & Contracts, Criminal Defense, Divorce & Child Custody, and Education Law.

A: If an arrest was made and charges were brought, then there is an assistant district attorney handling your case. You can speak to them regarding the costs of your injuries and whether or not payment for such can be incorporated into a plea agreement with the defendant. If you are looking to file a civil suit, then that is something seperate outside of the criminal case and you would need to contact an attorney to represent you.
