Re: auto accident
The only benefit you will receive from the restitution hearing is the enforcment mechanism it may provide to you. If you would like you can contact me, Pasquale Calcagno, Esq. of Calcagno & Associates at 1(800)WE-FIGHT for a free consultation or visit our lawfirm website for helpful information and resources at www.ny-injurylawyer.com. Thank you.
Re: auto accident
The criminal restitution would only apply to medical bills, property damage, etc. Not to emotional or speculative damages.
However, it will not award you addittional damages if you have already settled, it will only give you a seperate means of enforcing the settlement agreement.
