Can my 21 year old son, sue the guy who hit him and broke his jaw. He had to have surgery and have three plates and screws put in his jaw. What legal rights does he have? He had insurance, but will need to pay above that amount. It was a fight, This guy was pounding on a window of a girl, my son got out and told him to stop. This guy said something and my son said bring it on..The guy hit my son once, my son pushed him down on ground, the guy came back up and they both hit each other again this time they both went down. MY son was bleeding from the mouth, in extreme pain,, went to hospital , they sent him to OSU where the doctors asked what he hit with, as it was a very severe break in the jaw. Had surgery immediatley due to the severity. My son doesnt know whether to file a police report, says he has witnesses to what happened. We don't know what to do. We have a appointment with a lawyer next thursday, but not sure what to do in the mean time. Can he get into trouble with the law too??? Apparently this guy has made several comments that he had brass knuckles on, and his hand is pretty messed up..But how do we prove it? Any advice would be appreciated, we just want help with the medical bills..
Thanks
