12:27 pm
injured. i got back ten days later -- i wasn't going to do anything about that. i'm not suing the 14-year-old, i want to make it clear. >> -- >> want to make it clear you are. i just read the filing. >> the attorney says you have to put the kid's name on there. i didn't want that. >> that's what you have done. whetherot you want it to be. you can say anything you want, but that's what you have done. according to these documents. you told our producers prior to this segment you're willing to drop all of this in exchange for an apology. is that accurate? >> an apology -- this is how this got to this point. the parents -- all the parents knew about it. said, sorry it happened. numerous people saw it happen. it wasn't a home plate incidents. it was coming up -- the runner from third scored from -- >> wait, wait. now you're saying that this is

12:29 pm
million dollars in pain and suffering, and yet you tell me now all you want is an apology. why do you have a lawsuit which calls for them to pay you upwardded of hundred thousand for an -- $600,000 for an injury you didn't have treated for months on end. >> i did have it treated. i had physical therapy. i did everything if needed to do i rested it. i iced it, i come pressed -- compressed it. i didn't know it was ruptured. i thought it was a deep bruise, con tugs, and the swelling was to massive but i had to do what i had to die. had to coach, i had to work. >> you brought this issue to some local media there in your local area, and it's my understanding you saved lot of response from it. >> yeah. i received a lot of response, and basically one news station -- i can't note it -- came to my office and filmed my
12:30 pm
office, and this had nothing to do with me being a doctor. ed had everything to do with me being a volunteer. i've been a coach for 22 years. never had a safety incident once, and this time when i talked to the parents, all the parents knew about it. they didn't wont say they're sorry, didn't have their kid say, we're really sorry. so and so wants to say sorry, and we want to say sorry that it happened, and anything we can do -- not once theyabled it. every other parent knew. >> would you make a commit. right now, of you get an apology, you'll drop the lawsuit? >> i would drop this lawsuit in a heartbeat if they would come to me and say we're really sorry -- >> you wouldn't file another lawsuit. >> i wouldn't if they would do it without prejudice. >> because what seems strange to me on the face -- tell me what your thinking was behind this -- you said your out of pocket medical expenses are less

12:32 pm
it was more that we just basically asked if they had a home openers insurance policy that might cover this for any medical bills that weren't covered. we just asked if they would have their insurance to help pay what my blue cross would not. >> all right, thank you very much for being with us. we'll ask our viewers about it. tweet us or leave a message on our facebook page. we'll read your comments at the end of the newscast. we have here today a promise from the man who filed the lawsuit, one and all it -- one apology and it all going a. >> a woman in the ntsb says a woman assaulted her and her daughter at an airport and she wants justice.
