Well, maybe his brain cells are physically harmed, but that's his fault.
I would be worried that this could cause some kind of health/physical complication when you're older. Did the doctor tell you anything about that?
Feel better ...

You're probably right... at least from a legal standpoint... that wrxkidid is owed some compensation for his pain. But there was a time when stuff like this just got chalked up as "a scuffle" and "a learning experience".
As long as there's no permanent damage, I think the end result of this is that everyone will learn a little lesson about being a little more patient when dealing with a crappy situation. It's not like this is going to start a turf war between rival gangs, or get someone shot the next time they're all at a party. There's no need to legally assign blame, and get the authorities involved to prevent future issues. It was a misunderstanding, and unless the drunk guy and his friend are total belligerent idiots, this will blow over. Hell, even having an adult conversation about what went down would probably clear up everything.
I'd be a shame to get the kicker sent off to jail and ruin his adult life with felony assault when all he thought he was doing was rescuing his friend from a beat-down. If anything legal should take place, it's the girl suing her ex-boyfriend for being a worthless excuse of a man.
