Daughters fingers smashed in door at a store.
My 3 year old daughter had her fingers smashed EXTREMELY hard by a door with an incorrectly adjusted hydraulic closer. Now the company is trying to not even pay for the emergency room bills. Her fingers were luckily not broken but now she SCREAMS every time she sees the store from the memory. Should they have to pay for the E.R. and if I contact a psychologist to diagnose the trauma she is experiencing, and should they pay for that as well?

You can sue for medical expenses, emotional distress, and other costs that result from the injury.
