Of course you should get a lawayer, but get the sleaziest laywer you can find. If he's sleazy enough, he should sue everyone in sight: BK, the police, the paramedics, the hosptial, the witness (for failing to report a crime), etc. One of the defendants should give you money just to settle the case... if not you (and your lawyer) threaten to make a big stink in the media about how BK was negligent, about how the police didn't do anything, and how the "witness" didn't call the police. Just be sure he takes the case "on contigent": he only gets money if you win the case or get money from the defendants. --John
