Definition of Restitution: Restitution is money paid by a specific victim as reimbursement for the loss the victim has suffered as the result of a crime. Restitution is court ordered and part of the sentence. Generally, this is for out-of-pocket expenses, such as a stolen bike or the deductible on the insurance. 

Although restitution is ordered by the Court, there is no guarantee of payment. You may wish to discuss your options for a civil recovery with a private attorney.
