So sorry to hear about your accident and injury. This is a difficult case, however, due to the fact that it does not appear the rink caused the accident. You could sue the other skater, but did you procure their contact information? Also, suing the individual will likely not lead to effective compensation as they may not have insurance to cover such an accident.
Consult a local personal injury lawyer promptly. If the rink exceeded its skater capacity, or allowed excessive horseplay, you might have a viable claim. Some such businesses ask customers to waive any claims before the injury occurs. If that is the case, that waiver may or may not be enforceable. If the person that knocked you down did so negligently, and if they have personal liability insurance, then you might recover from that person's insurer. Act promptly in seeking a local personal injury lawyer.
