The DA is supposed to seek criminal charges in criminal cases with enough evidence to prosecute. If the victim of any crime in the US wants financial restitution (for hospital bills, lost wages, etc.), they need an attorney to pursue a civil suit.

A civil suit, yes. But the description was to press charges. I thought it implied a private prosecution, rather than a suit over damages.
