The missing man who caused your sister's injury may still be found. Also, I suspect there may be a type of insurance known as "uninsured motorist coverage" available that will provide compensation to your sister and help pay the medical bills. There may also be a type of coverage known as "med-pay" applicable to this claim as well. Your sister and you need the services of an attorney who is an expert at such matters, not just an ordinary lawyer. Do not get an attorney who is a divorce or criminal lawyer (or other type of lawyer) as he/she will not have the knowledge to correctly handle the matter and will undoubtedly mess up the case. Research carefully and find an attorney who is an expert at insurance matters involving personal injury claims. There are a lot out there who pretend to be but in reality, for a city this size, there are actually very few really expert insurance attorneys from the side of the consumer. The insurance companies have a lot of them, however. Good luck.

You need a lawyer for all that the other lawyers commented on. You also need a lawyer to help you get you through the battles of paying for the medical care she will need.
