My sister was a DA in South Carolina and we had to chat today concerning the house I just bought, which is 1/4 mile or so from hers.
So I asked her a few minutes ago.
Predictably, she said California is different than SC, but she would have had an assistant take the case and prosecute if asked.
She also mentioned going after his insurance carrier as well as civil suit to recover damages, medical, etc.
She recommended starting with the DA so the facts can be gathered, witnesses talked to, etc. at no cost to your friend. Then engage with an attorney to gauge the benefit of a civil suit.
