My home was broken into and the person who done it pressed charges on me for simple assault. He was only charged with misdemeanor B&E, assault, trespassing, and injury to personal property. I was with a terminally ill family member(unexpected) in the hospital in another state when the court date came up and called the D.A. It was not a good enough excuse to miss court is what I was told. Now there is a warrant for my arrest and they probably dismissed the case. Can I still sue him for damages to my property? If so, how do I go about to do that? Do I have victims rights?
