The answer

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.
