What is the name of your state?NEW JERSEY
My boyfriend came out of a seven-eleven and went into his car to leave when a drunken man started pounding the back of his trunk. My boyfriend told him to back off and then the man came up to his driver's window and put his rear-end through the window. Apparently my boyfriend became upset and forcefully opened the car door and got out. They yelled at eachother while 3 other men, all of the drunken man's friends, surrounded my boyfriend. The drunken man hit my boyfriend and my boyfriend swung back. All four of the men began beating up my boyfriend. Shortly after a cop had pulled in and witnessed what was happening and three of the men ran while the one drunken one was still fighting my boyfriend. My boyfriend filed a police report and went to the hospital. He was bit several times all over his body and is using severe antibiotics. He also sprained his ankle and has severly bruises, scratches, and bumps to his head and body. He does not have any health coverage and has already been to the hospital to recieve care. He must go back to the hospital to constantly have his bite marks checked as they are severe and caused concern to the doctor who saw him. He was told they caught two of the men who beat him up and was told by the police to press charges. He has one cop as a witness. Does he have a chance in court to sue for assault? Can he atleast get his hospital charges paid by the assaulters?
