Re: assault on self with baseball

I'm not sure why you should have to do anything. The cops should take care of this. A law suit could be tough because these people may not have any money. I suggest you contact the NJ VCCA http://www.state.nj.us/victims/ and work with them. You can get an attorney to not only help you deal with the law enforcement agencies but also to recover your out of pocket expenses up to $24,000. The best is, it costs you nothing.

As a VCCA attorney, I'd be happy to represent you.
