Why should HER injuries be disregarded? If the body part had shoved a child into the track of an oncoming train, and killed the child, would anyone wonder if the injuries were real or sufficient?

Sure, it is sad that the teen lost his life. Very sad. But, that doesn't really stop the rest of the world from hurting. What if the woman's injuries cost her her job (which is a real possibility here in the US)? She looses her house and her car??
