Robbed at gunpoint

Original Post

I was robbed at gunpoint yesterday by three African American in Berkeley area. They pointed gun at me numerous time when I refused to give them anything. They escape in car with no nameplate number. I got scratches and swollen fingers along with bruises in my arms.There was one eye witness who followed the robbers for few blocks in the car and called 911. I gave the deskription of the thieves as much as I could remember. When offered medical help I thanked them and said I do not need. Now, it seems like I need it some medical attention. Can I still ask Berkeley police for it? Do I need to report it to immigration office as a victim of crime?

Strong case for U-Visa which eventually gives you green card. Consult with good lawyer

If you need medical attention, go see a doctor not the Berkely police.

Thank you for the suggestion. I work legally and have filed taxes. So, there won't be any problem with that. I was robbed just a block away from my workplace. I was helping SF police department when they were perusing them in sf but the thieves are still at large. I want to go to hospital , as well as, psychiatrist. However, I am worried about expenses. My police report shows they cover certain amount of monetary cost, lost wages... but I am not sure if I could still take that offer. I tried to contact Victim aid Information center, but they are always on voice mail.  

Can I still go to hospital and visit psychiatrist then send the medical bill to the the police department, or was I supposed to go to hospital when the officer offered it?

What the hell is U visa? He is a US citizen.

If it qualifies certainly. Regardless, I would like to know, who would be liable for medial expenses?

Just go to the hospital yourself asap, they will send you a bill afterwards , send that to Police  and do take whatever offer you get since you are legal nothing to worry. If no one helps you with your medical bill , negotiate to your Hospital, they will work and adjust it. sometimes you pay $ 0. Keep on helping police and save all the important details of the  Incident & investigation. Consult an immigration lawyer after you get well about your chance of filing U Visas. 

Hope this helps !!
