Sure. You can sue anyone for anything... "Sue" just means ask. If you sue, you're asking the court to force someone to pay something. The court can refuse or the court can tell the individual that he/she has a debt and must pay. But if the person is already in prison and has no financial resources, what do you think will happen? You won't get anything from him/her, and all you'll do is run up a lawyer debt and court costs.

Are you obligated to sue if someone breaks your nose?

By law, the cops are not allowed to force you to sue if someone breaks your nose. They won't say:"You won't sue him/her for breaking your nose, you're going to jail." They're not allowed to do that. You're the victim, so you decide wether you sue or not. If you refuse to sue or file a police report, the cops will respect that, but they will tell you the consequences of not suing or filing a police report or taking your assailant to court.
