If you settle, you won't go to court As for the amount of compensation, you just have to pay the other party according to your private requirements.
2. Is this really a criminal case? Or criminal plus civil?
Causing minor injuries to the other party, if it does not constitute justifiable defense, it constitutes intentional injury. If a settlement is reached, the public security organ may dismiss the case. Of course, if the criminal responsibility is investigated, it does not affect the other party's claim for civil compensation, and the other party can file a criminal incidental civil action.
What if the court finally awards me compensation and I can't afford it?
If you are unable to pay, the other party can file an enforcement action, and after the court accepts it, you can enforce your property at any time.
