Sue for what, and who? I would most likely press charges against whoever threw the chair, but sue for what? And who? The Palace? If you build a wall around the players, you can't see. Well, hockey, has a plexi wall, but fans have still gone over, and players have used their sticks at fans.
The reaction that someone hurt me, I'm suing <i>is</i> a problem in America today. You have car accidents where the first reaction is calling a lawyer - I've seen it. A guy got rear ended by another car, first thing he did was call his lawyer. He was still on the phone with him when PD arrived and found an unconscious diabetic in the car behind him.
He was more concerned about how to go about getting money from someone then being concerned if they were ok.
The person who threw the chair needs help. They likely need help dealing with anger management, and taking them to court for all their worth is probably not the best way to help them deal with that.
