You have the right to sue the defendant in civil court for damages. You must make the decision, however, if the cost for the civil action merits you spending the legal fees. How much were your medical expenses? Did you miss work? What other damages do you have? If those amounts are substantial, I would consider a civil action. The other important factor is the ability of the defendant to pay you should you succeed in your civil action. Does the defendant have assets? This is the analysis you must do. The cost for the civil damage litigation would be at least $5000.
