So sorry that happened to you. +1 to what everyone else has said, especially Mary. Sending healing thoughts. Your health insurance company will go after the dog owner for THEIR medical expenses only, so you need an attorney of your own if you have lost wages and your obvious pain and dis-ability.
I hate to even say it, but knowing you're vegan, you are going to need LOTS of protein during the healing process, so be very careful with your diet okay?
Hang in there.
