Uncle attempted to murder me with wooden bat

I'm not sure if this is the right sub for this so my apologies. As the title says, back in early February this year my uncle broke into the house and beat me with a wooden bat right as I was waking up in bed. He kept beating me while I was on the floor until I managed to crawl out of my room and run out the front door in broad daylight screaming my head off. I barley made it out. I had to get 5 staples in my head and stitches on my upper forehead. Me and my dad already had a no contact order against him from the previous November in 2023 after him getting arrested for battery and a terrioristic threat(he told my dad in front of me while being handcuffed that "your daughter is dead") . After him attempting to murder me he was charged with aggravated stalking and aggravated assualt. He spent a total of 8 months in jail from both arrests and is on probation currently. I have medical bills piling up and he has completey traumatized to me to the point of consistent nightmares, paranoia, insomnia, anxiety attacks, and now I have regular headaches that I never had prior to this. What can I do in this situation to get every dollar I can out of him? I want him to pay for all my medical bills and I want compensation for the physical and mental damage he has inflicted upon me. I know nothing about suing someone for this. Any advice is helpful. I live in Georgia, USA. Thanks!

EDIT: I understand the obvious answer is to go talk to a local attorney or lawyer, but I'm trying to figure out what all information I need and how to be prepared for this. Will I lose money from trying to sue in this situation? I feel like after everything it should be possible to acquire something. At this point I'm mainly concerned about the medical bills.
