What are the possible repercussions of this incident? If i get a ticket in the mail can i fight this in court?

In my gated HOA community (no posted speed limit so i was going to do 30 like floridas default speed limit in residential), I was behind a car going ~5 mph. I began to pass, but the driver sped up, forcing me toward a curb/tree. I took the wrong way through a roundabout to avoid a crash. She and her mom then chased me, blocked me in after i went into a parking lot, yelled, and the woman threatened to beat me with children in the car. One child in her car was unrestrained, he was standing on the floor but leaning over the center console to stare at me. I apologized profusely and didnt fight back but they kept yelling and took my plate photo. The mom stepped out of the car and said “im her mom thats why theres 2 people on your ass”

Is she eligible for proper compensation?

My wife was electrocuted at the Ohio State Fair as a child 36 years ago. Her parents signed off a lawsuit as they wouldn't receive any compensation for her electrocution with pain and suffering. She now has constant severe nerve pain in her hands, joints and legs EVERY DAY.of her life. Her electrocution was so severe, they were going to amputate her leg, but right before.....she had feeling and moved her foot. If there's nothing that can be done, so be it. She is now at end of her threshold for pain severity. She doesn't know what she can do as she feels she's a burden to the family. I don't know what to do but always love and support her. She's my favorite person in this whole world, and she was done wrong. She doesn't know I wrote this, but she has stated she wants to see if she's eligible to do something with all the surgeries she needs to have.
