This.

Why? Kid threw/dropped the bottle over the railing. Unless there was some building code violation they wouldn’t be responsible. If you’re at a mall and your kid throws something off the escalator, or over the railing of the second floor (that many malls have) and it hits someone, is it the mall’s fault? The rails are there to protect people from falling. People are the ones responsible for keeping their belongings on their person.

Did I miss this? What makes you think it was thrown? Dropped objects hurt people every day and they are generally accidents.

You are still liable if you drop something from high above and it hurts someone, even if it was an accident. You think a construction worker can just drop a hammer on someone’s head from up above and bc it’s an accident he isn’t liable? His insurance/company’s would definitely be paying the medical expenses.

Yes I agree with you although I still suspect the liability falls to the venue and I don’t see any evidence of parental negligence per se.

That said, children should not have things they might drop near balconies at all ever and people need to learn this.

The Op stated the child was too short to reach the balcony/have their hand dangle over it which means they chucked it. Little kids throw things. It was the 2 year old’s mom’s job to make sure her toddler wasn’t holding a hard water bottle on a second floor balcony with people underneath. Obviously it wasn’t purposeful but it was in fact negligent.

It’s either that or it was the moms older child and she blamed the little one because she knew it would be more socially acceptable than to say her older child did it.

If your kid breaks something in the store you pay for it. If your kid gives someone a concussion, you pay for it.

100%. i’m not sure why all these people think the family of the kid who dropped the water bottle is just free from responsibility here. That’s not how this works.

it really is wild.

Who is defending her? I only see people saying a lawsuit is insanity and holding them liable for an accident is wild.

Exactly. it's insane to me that OP thinks anything else needs to be done.

Most people have co-pays and deductibles. It’s easy to spend $400-500+ at the ER when you are getting a CT SCAN and/or MRI. Most insurance policies don’t have a $0 ER copay. Why does OP need to pick up the bill when concussions are brain injuries and serious and she has to live with that. Even mild concussions have short and long term health implications, and OP’s concussion was moderate.

Respectfully- you’re nuts.

My goodness. Accidents happen. Most of us wouldn't have gone to the ER for something like this. What do you expect the family to do? Pay OPs wages for a few weeks? JFC

Expect a message from your health insurance subrogation people.

i’m sorry-you wouldn’t go the ER when you are hit in the head from 12 feet up with a water bottle?? And have a terrible headache after that turns out to be a concussion? Wow…

Exactly for many many people even with health insurance this could actually cost thousands not to mention time out of work.

If someone backs into your car today and you get a concussion or your car gets damaged, I hope they drive away because accidents happen. You’ll live, you may live differently, but it’s not there problem! Great attitude. Hope you live it either by choice or by karma.
