Technically, perhaps yes, but with such small injury it wont be worth your time and n o lawyer would be interested. It would not likely pay the costs much less an appropriate fee for handling. Why don't you simply ask if they have med pay coverage to pay the dr bill.

Yes, you very well might have a claim for her. Good luck.

Maybe, but did she receive medical treatment? Is it permanent? It won't hurt to send the owner a letter asking for compensation, but unless it is significant trauma, your likelihood of prevailing for any substantial sums is slim.

Maybe. The issue is going to be the measure of damages. From what you described they do not appear to be significant.

Sounds like there is solid evidence for liability. The question is whether the injuries are severe enough to pursue recovery. For example, suppose you were to file suit and win, what would be the verdict? $1,000? That would hardly justify filing fees and attorney's time.
