Yes. Let the company's lawyers do the work for you. You can always file a lawsuit yourself, but the teenager is not likely to have a lot of free cash.

60 - True but if he's still a minor then OP could sue his parents.

Those are my favorites kinds of suits! I like them better than tuxedos :)

He's a teenager. He's unlikely to have enough money for lunch, let alone a medical bill.

You have way too much faith in humanity. Also, one period will suffice to end a sentence.

Umm, NO. If some idiot did that to me I'd flip shit.

How do you keep calm after some idiot shakes you out of a ladder for laughs?

17 has a point, to not make the injury worse. Let security, police, and the lawyers give that little shit his due.

How could someone keep calm with a fractured elbow. If it were me, I'd slap the girl dog.

I was going to say the same thing. It would have been less painful for OP if she'd broken her fall on that shitheel teenager's body. It would have been even better if some of the stock she was fetching landed on his head and knocked him out. Hope you recover soon, OP, and hope you can sue the snot out of that bratty little teen's parents.

That'd really solve everything actually. Any medical bills are the kid's fault anyway, OP probably wouldn't have a fractured elbow, and the idiot would have his lesson learned before anyone even mentions the medical bills.

Well you know, a teenagers frontal lobe, the part of the brain responsible for decision making, isn't fully developed until they reach adulthood. It's really no wonder why he choose the wrong thing to do.

23 I know MANY teenagers, many children as well, with enough common sense not to do something like that.

38- Mixed in with peer pressure and experience, of course. I'm not sure, but I somehow doubt that I implied that every teenager would choose to do what that teenager did in that given situation. The part about the frontal lobe is still true.

The prefrontal cortex, the part of the frontal lobes lying just behind the forehead, is often referred to as the “CEO of the brain.” This brain region is responsible for cognitive analysis and abstract thought, and the moderation of “correct” behavior in social situations. The prefrontal cortex takes in information from all of the senses and orchestrates thoughts and actions to achieve specific goals.1,2 The prefrontal cortex is one of the last regions of the brain to reach maturation. This delay may help to explain why some adolescents act the way they do. Taken from the US Department of Health and Human Services.

Yes, I understand how the brain's lobes work. "It's really no wonder why he chose the wrong thing to do" Implying that that's the sole purpose behind his action.

Reason* is probably a better word choice, not purpose.
