Upper East Side Aunt Sues Nephew for Enthusiastic Hug, Broken Wrist

A Manhattan woman sued her then eight-year-old nephew for an enthusiastic hug that knocked her down and broke her wrist.  A jury found the nephew was not liable.  I assume the homeowner's policy was the target, but it couldn't have helped that she testified that it hurt for her to hold a plate of hors d'oeuvres.  The Connecticut Post has the story.
