QUESTION: How do you go about getting medical bills, pain, and suffering, etc (restitution) after a DV case has been closed? In the mist of the trial, I was asked to send in copies of my medical bills to the DA that I received in result to me going to the emergency room after a DV assault. So that the judge could order them to be paid. I sent x-ray readings etc. When the case came to a conclusion the DA returned to me stating that the defendant did not.
