They fled the scene but there were witnesses, well the court system did the procedings and now he pays restitution. It sucks because you would really like to have the full amount now but for the past 4 years I get like $75 dollars every 3 months from this guy - they garnish his wages but not much of them, they take out the court costs before they pay the victim. It will take awhile for him to pay it all but that is how it will probably work for you unless the woman who did this has a lot of money.

The attorney you hire Monday will know lots more about whether the person would have to sell assets (like their car?) to settle a judgment against them.
