Actually, it is not as easy as that. "Severely disabling" someone often means breaking bones and otherwise busting them up, so the possibility of a Civil Suit will always exist and possibly more than if you had killed them justifiably.
Basically, there are no easy answers and you roll the dice every time. You have to remember, a bunch of people are going to Monday Morning Quarterback the whole altercation anyway. There is no way around that, that IS having a Trial. Hindsight is 20/20, always and being Judged by People who were not there in cases of Self-defense is always the worst form of Monday Morning Quarterbacking you can imagine.
Unless you can articulate every single thought, feeling and emotion you had and then entwine that with what you did, why you did it and how you did it...you're basically sunk anyway.
