There is no one-size-fits all answer. You need to satisfy the "serious injury" threshold that applies to accident involving motor vehicles. Given that you suffered head trauma, you may need to be worked up to see if you suffered a traumatic brain injury - something many lawyers miss. Be sure to file for no-fault insurance coverage within 30 days of the accident; the hospital probably already took care of this. In addition, if you have a car or live with someone who does, you should place your carrier on notice because you uninsured/under insured coverage may come into play depending on the coverage and the coverage on the car that hit you.

I handle these cases on a contigency basis; please feel free to check out my web site and call to discuss your case.

As stated by others, it depends on many factors, most importantly, the extent of healing. Get a lawyer. Best, M. E. Zuller

This would depend on the extent of your injuries-physical and emotional; the amount of time needed for recovery; etc.

I agree with the other responses. It sounds like your injuries are very severe if you needed to be in the ICU for 5+ days. My office is located on Long Island if this is more convenient to you. If you wish to discuss same, please feel free to call me at 631-244-1484, or e-mail [email protected]. Good luck and feel better soon.
