Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York
Personal assault
I was recently assaulted in N.Y.
state and received multiple facial
fractures,requiring reconsructive
surgery. The person who commited
the crime was charged with 2nd
degree assault. He is also 20 years
of age. Do I have any legal
recourse, or the ability to file suit
against this person, or his parents?

Re: Personal assault
I am working on a case very similar. You can sue but the real issue is whether you can collect? Does the person have assets or a job? It may be better to let the criminal course run its course to see if he pleads guilty which would help a civil case; there is a one year statute of limitations though. Feel free to contact me. The above is for informational purposes only and not meant as legal advice.
