Honestly I'd do the same thing. Now I wouldnt sue for some stupid amount but I'd make sure my medical bills were paid for and any future hospital visits were paid for.

"If you were in the injured woman's shoes, would you sue, too?"

No.

I'd make a citizen's arrest, and ziptie his severed torso to a pole until the police arrived.

This sort of thing happens all the time, in things like car collisions. Truth is that the 'kid' is nominally an adult, so this woman can't leverage the parents' money. She's not going to get a whole lot, if anything, unless he was a trust fund baby.

lets put her on the train tracks, with a busted leg she wont be able to gimp too fast and the train will finish the job/

Creating the suit is one thing, a court allowing it is an entirely different level of idiot.

Jus tthe fact that these idiots will go before a judge to even argue it takes time away from them dealing with other legal matters.

Consider how much such an injury might cost someone, who doesn't have helth insurance. Who should pay for that?

I am sure the railroad companies have deep pockets, sue them for making trains that are unsafe or cant stop in time.
