What is the name of your state?Illinois
I was at a bar with family. When 6 guys came into bar and started harrasing my cousins wife. My cousin asked them to stop 3 times, and they continued. The bartender and bouncer were friends of these guys, and did nothing to stop this. So we decided to just leave. As we were leaving one of the guys started with me and my cousin, a brief arguement insued and one of my other cousins called the police, so that we could leave. Police came and told us to go and the others who started this to stay inside. as I left to the parking lot and walked to the car, I was hit in the back of the head and knocked to the ground by one of these guys and he hit my head into a parked car. A policemen seen this and came over and grab the guy. I tried to get up but was dizzy from the hit and i was bleeding bad, so police called ambulance and wanted me to press charges on this guy. But I was hurt. Police then arrested him for other charges including battery. I wanted no more trouble,but I have no insurance and I have $1500 in hospital bills and being sued for this. Can I go to small claims court to get bills paid for? This happened on Nov4th 2004. Please can you give me some advice.
