What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
Hi,
I live in NYC, recently I was attacked by someone who used to work in a store next to my apt, I basically had emailed his management complaining about him, and I
don;t know whether he was fired or he resigned, anyway, 2 months after never seeing him at the store I walk in and he is standing there looking at me from a distance, he mouths the word " F you"
so I walk up to him and say " I thought they fired your A$$" , at which point he punched me in the head 4-5 times, he damaged some blue tooth headphones I was wearing. All of this was of ocurse under video camera , I am much bigger than this criminal and because of that everyone jumped and stopped me, so with me being restrained I say " OK I am cool, I am just gonna call the cops" at which point this punk steps outside and then flees the scene.
The cops come in, and the manager of the store gives them this criminal's home address ( since he was a previous employee ) . In the mean time I have bump on my head where the headphones were. I call an ambulance and go to a close by hospital. the cops say its an assault third degree, and NYPD detective will be in touch.
Next day Det calls me up, I go over and explain what happened, 3 weeks later I get an email from Det saying this guy was arrested, and that the district attorney will get in touch with me about next steps, the detective tells me most probably this criminal won't have any jail time, but probation or whatever .
I haven;lt heard from DA, I will be contacting them next week, I am here to ask about some issues :
1 - Expenses, is it normal to ask for these to be compensated?
- I have paid over 200 $ to replace headphones
- Hospital bill , 1230 $.
2 - I work from home and because of this incident I didn't work for 3 days, I am a consultant and my daily rate is 1250, so thats 3750 $.
Now on this issue I don;t have invoice to show for that specific week ( I charge monthly) but I can show invoice monthly that show that daily rate,
Can I ask for that to be paid by this criminal too or no?
3 - What can I do to make sure this punk goes to jail? how can I damage him the most?
