Is it permissible to retract the refusal of an aggressor's offer to cover treatment costs in exchange for dropping the complaint, after realizing that the medical expenses are very high?

Among incidents, some do not obligate the perpetrator to compensation, while others do. Determining responsibility requires litigation and a ruling before the competent authority. If the perpetrator wishes to avoid this and asks the victim to withdraw the lawsuit in exchange for a sum of money or covering their treatment costs, there is no objection to this, even if the victim had previously refused; for reconciliation is best.
