    Steven> If someone hurts you they are to pay, according to this.

Please also read the previous verse:

  Exodus 21:18 And if men strive together, and one smite another with a
    stone, or with [his] fist, and he die not, but keepeth [his] bed:

So the verse you quoted only applies when there was a deliberate
physical attack, not an accidental situation.
