More details to this question:
My roommate put me into a wall and separated my shoulder. I went to the ER but didn't press charges. I kicked him out and he stayed 5 days passed the 1st and I gave him 30 days. It's been almost 2 months and he hasn't paid me.

Every claim or law suit has two basic elements: Liability (fault) and damages (how much). Many times a person may have a good claim but the damages are insufficient to interest a lawyer in taking your case. If the damages are modest you may wish to sue in Small Claims Court, where no lawyers are allowed and the damages are limited to $10,000.

Sure, why couldn't you.
