Can I press a charge against someone after being hit?
Anonymous2 views4 answers
My friend got hit last night by a stranger. Two policemen arrested him immediately because they were passing by. At that time, my friend said he is not going to press a charge against the person. However, he felt pain seriously afterward, so he wants to press charge against that person. Can my friend still press a charge against this person?
Yes. Hopefully the police did a stop and frisk card on the assailant so they know who he is. Don't be surprised if the police refuse to do anything given that your friend did not press charges initially.
I am sorry to hear about your situation. Yes your friend can press charges. Also, your friend may be able to sue for personal injuries. My firm has over 15 years of personal injury experience.
I wish you the best of luck.
