You absolutely need a car...so get one, rent or buy - understanding that sooner or later some insurance should cover it. Do you have underinsured or uninsured motorists policies? Check it out - call your insurance people immediately, and they will start working for you. Call me directly if you like: 216.952.1990.

Re: sueing the one responsible for auto accident

I hope by now you are well on your way to resolving your accident claim! If you have not settled, you can call and discuss the issues that you raised in your question. There is no charge for a telephone conference and no obligation. In any event, it sounds like you had a pretty serious injury and it would be a good idea to talk to a lawyer before you settle. I have been representing injured people for over 30 years and would be glad to talk to you.

Good Luck
