The problem is the ones that have an indecent and make a big stink when they really aren't injured.
I think most would agree that if someone else's negligence caused REAL injuries and trauma then the injured person being compensated accordingly is only fair.
The hard part is who knows who is truthful now days
I am a nobody, that met somebody, that can save anybody.
I would think the prudent thing would be if hurt, seek medical attention. Document what happened and if he suspects nerve damage, see a specialist, not a general practitioner.
After that is the pain goes away, they would owe for your medical bills and most likely can be handled between him and their insurance company. If the damage is more severe, he should seek legal advice.
Either way the business shares some liability, but building a personal injury case bigger that it is because your think somebody owes you a bunch of money..........,means your friend is a POS

I can't even comment on this.
I worked a crash with about 100.00 worth of damage. A Swans delivery truck was turning left, a Buick attempted to pass in a no passing zone and stuck the front bumper as the truck made its turn causing the bumper to slightly bend. The Buick had a scrape mark down the passenger side and was drivable. The operator of the swans truck drove the commercial vehicle into the parking lot and hung out with me while I worked the crash. After showing the Buick at fault and issuing a ticket, the driver of the swans truck said he was going to the doctors.
2 years later I get a subpoena from Peak and Fowler to testify in a civil case. I walked in the courtroom and the Swans driver was walking with a cane and had a huge back brace on. I testified to the minimal damage and that he didn't appear to be hurt but that I was no doctor.
The 12 jurrors in Richland county awarded the Swans driver 1.2 million dollars.
Swans company testified that the truck to the day had never been fixed because there was no visible damage...….
Roll the dice brother...everyone else does it

Hope your back gets better Roddie.
Btw, you won't hear me apologize often, so you may want to put that in your sigfile. ~Mergie
If permanent damage, he should seek legal assistance. Lots of questions to ask regarding liability- was sign hung properly - right size wire, screws, brackets etc? Have other people hit it before? how obvious was the coloration - did it blend with surroundings? and you have to throw in the egg-shell skulled plaintiff theory. No question, the hotel should be on the hook for something. The question is how much.
