I'm actually handling one of those cases already. There are many issues related to these types of cases. I would recommend you contact a lawyer to discuss your situation. Typically, lawyers who do this type of work give free consultations like I do.
Your case and circumstances will be evaluated by the personal injury attorney to determine what is the best course of action given the damages you have suffered.
I would also recommend that you get a copy of any and all medical records related to your injury. If you cannot get them, the attorney helping you can get them. My current client was able to obtain the records. Had that become an issue, we would have obtained them.
Do the best you can to recall what occurred factually and be prepared to explain it to the lawyer you consult with.
I'm very sorry this has occurred to you.
