Under the laws of all states in this country you have the legal basis to file suit for the injury that you have written about. The problem is that under the law there is a doctrine called assumption of the risk with respect to certain activities which the batting machine may fall under which could bar your claim.

To prove your claim you need to establish what your damages are in terms of dollars and cents such as wage loss and medical bills. I suggest that you may want to consult with a personal injury further as to your matter.
