Legal Question in Criminal Law in Illinois
physical assault
At a party I was beat up. I was forced to the floor of a garage and kicked in the face by 2 guys. I have an orbital fracture (eye) and perforated ear drum, 2 black eyes and 11 stitches. An officer is going to charge them with a felony assault and possible mob action. I have suffered a lot of pain and have Hospital bills. I am a student and have missed class. What would you advise I do?

Re: physical assault
Call the State's Attorney's Office and ask to speak with the victim coordinator about restitution for your medical bills.
Re: physical assault
You also have non-criminal remedies against the assailants (i.e. you can sue them for damages in addition to any criminal trouble they are in). If you need any help with this, please let me know.
