Contact a local personal injury attorney (one in your state).
PI attorneys work on a contingent fee basis, which means they only get paid out of the proceeds of the lawsuit if you win. They provide free initial consultations. Sometimes an attorney will ask you to pay a "retainer" to cover the some of the expenses of a case, this is an issue that varies from office to office.
The attorney will contact the store, ascertain who insures it and then open a claim. He will attempt to resolve the claim, when you are finished with medical treatment and he knows the extent of your injuries. If he cannot resolve the claim, he will file a lawsuit on your behalf.
