Missouri-
Beat up by two guys. At the criminal trial the prosecutor gave them "diversion" basically they're on probation and they have to pay me $500 in restitution (the court max).
My hospital bills were $3,400 initially and after insurance I owe $1,300. How do I get the rest of this back, and how much am I entitled to? The max for small claims court in Missouri appears to be $3,000, should I go there or try for more?
I'm not someone who is looking to sue at every chance they get but these guys messed me up pretty bad. I still have bruising from it 5 months later and the scar near my eye will probably never go away. Not to mention the inconvenience it caused me at work.
More importantly, do you even think I have a case? or am I just screwed?
Thanks.
