Would seem to me that the torn tendon occured while the guy assaulting the 7-year old. Grabbing onto a kid’s leg after he “started to ski away” would be quite a jolt on the old arm.

He’s lucky the kid’s father didn’t deck him.

I would think grabbing at anyone with a torn tendon in your shoulder would be fairly painful as well...

You may be on to something there. The injury may be a result of his actions after the collision and not the collision itself.

I suppose Swimm could say they won't file charges over assault and battery against the Pfahler if he drops his suit. The kid's bump could very well have been accidental, but Pfahler actions were unambiguously deliberate.
