Followup: tissue infection

So, how much does amputation surgery and recovery cost these days?

Seriously, get a lawyer if you have to.

Hip, this is a very serious medical situation. PLEASE ASK YOUR FAMILY TO HELP YOU GET THROUGH THIS. Whatever it ends up costing, take care of your health now and worry about filing insurance claims later. Also PLEASE follow the doctors advice on caring for your wound. To not do so will cost you much more in both money and emotional stress later on.

I guess Imissed he original "hit by a car" post but if you have automobile insurance and carrying medical coverage on that policy, it should cover some of your medical expenses for this accident (usually there's a limit of $5,000 - 25,000). Please call your insurance agent as soon as possible and file a claim. If it's rejected OK but it's worth a shot!
