Without more facts, this is a difficult question to answer. In order to file a legitimate claim against the city, you would need to determine whether the city has liability (i.e., whether the city itself did anything wrong).

Without more information (including seeing the agreement), it's difficult to determine whether or not you have a case.

Retain a criminal defense attorney to defend you in the criminal case, and retain a personal injury attorney to file a civil claim against the hospital. Talk with a local attorney as soon as you can in order to preserve any surveillance footage that may be available. Good luck.

Something doesn't add up. A person does not pay a fine, appeal a case, then return a case to a lower court for dismissal. Obtain the case number for the incident you describe, then call a local attorney.
