Legal Question in Personal Injury in Alabama
I was getting in line at Dollar General when my son walked up to a guy that works there and said "hello, how are you doing?" The guy then elbowed my son and told him to get away. My son has Autism and I've worked too hard with him so that he will socialize the way he does for some jerk to do this. The manager of the store was standing there and witnessed the whole thing but said nothing to her employee for elbowing my child. The guy never looked at me although I was yelling at him for hitting my son with his elbow, he bought a soda and chips and went to the back of the store to the breakroom. What if anything can I legally do? I'm not even sure what type lawyer to ask.

Write a letter to the District Manager of Dollar General. You can't expect the highest caliber of person to be employed there anyway, but you can still complain to management. Physical contact with a customer is most likely not allowable per their employment policy but I doubt you have any real cause of action unless you want to go with assault and battery. You would still have to get past the fact that there were no damages.
