NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

You should immediately contact the police and advise them of the information. The police report may get amended with an addendum listing this information which should then be shared with your insurance company. If you are not insured, then you are on your own in getting payment.

You can file a civil suit, but if the party is encarcerated, you will probably never receive payment or have a low chance. It may or may not be worth the cost of filing suit.
