My question involves criminal law for the state of: CA
Hi about 6 months ago i was attacked by the brother of an ex-girlfriend of mine. He punched me in the face about 3 times and broke my nose along with a bunch of hairline fractures under my right eye. I already had one surgery in January and since then my health has been getting worse and worse. I have another surgery in July for my nose. I have been to the doctor probably about 25 times and had 2 mris and 1 CT scan(another coming up) since the incident for different concerns and reasons; such as back pain(from getting my head knocked back so hard), migraines(started getting really bad headaches since the incident). I am currently going to physical therapy 3 times a week and the therapist said that no 17 year old should be in as much pain as i am.
Note:I did not fight back; and he also got a possession of marijuana ticket the same month.
Now comes my question, according to the kids(17 years old) probation officer the charge is most likely going to be a felony, and honestly i hope it is. The court date for this is in June and im wondering what to expect when i go there? Will i be able to tell them everything? What will be covered(pain and suffering, medical bills, etc)? I want them to know that i live in a world of pain now and can no longer even do the things i used to love like go paint balling or ride my skateboard due to the pain it causes to my back/face. It hurts to lay down at night and try to fall asleep, what some people would find as their only escape. The migraines get worse from bright light so i want to put on my sunglasses; but it hurts to wear them because of the pain it causes on my nose. My nose is also now permanently crooked. The incident also occurred around Christmas time, so while all my friends were out having fun i had to stay in with a cast on my nose being depressed about not being able to do anything fun on my last winter break.
I hope this doesn't sound like a rant, but honestly this sucks.
Any help is appreciated
thanks
