If I get a settlement from the other guys insurance company. Can I still still get restitution from the courts that has already been rewarded to me? The settlement from the insurance company is less then the amount of restitution I was awarded.
Answer
Usually as a defense attorney I work a deal with the prosecutor that there is no restitution hearing if the victim has been made whole by my client's insurance. If you already have a restitution order, then the entire amount must be satisfied.
