While I understand that you should not have incurred additional healthcare costs, ultimately It sounds like you may fully recover. IF this happens, (and I hope that it does), you would likely spend more on the cost of expert witnesses than could be recovered. On the other hand, if you discover that you are left with permanent deficits you should contact a local lawyer to evaluate your claim.
