If you're asking what the authorities will do, you are asking a criminal law question, not a personal injury law question. PI and Torts are about lawsuits for damages based on injuries or other harm due to negligence and other misconduct.

Ask the DA, it is his decision, not based on your opinion or mine, but on the evidence available to him.

He also has grounds for a civil suit. IF the case has merit [likelihood of winning and the other side found liable], value [substantial provable damages, such as the injuries stated] and collectability [defendant with sufficient insurance coverage or available assets to collect against], feel free to contact me if serious about getting counsel. I've been doing these cases for years.
