Tracy Morgan Accident Update: ’30 Rock’ Actor’s Long-term Cognitive Damage Still Unknown; Comedian Still Needs Help To Walk

Tracy Morgan's accident update still offers no good news as the long-term cognitive damage to the comedian is still unknown. The "30 Rock" actor still needs assistance just to be able to walk.

The Hollywood.com reported Tracy Morgan accident update when it claimed that doctors need to wait about a month before they can assess the long-tem damage to his cognitive ability.

The comedian broke his leg and ribs, as well as sustaining traumatic brain injuries, when the van he was riding was rear-ended by a Wal-mart truck along the New Jersey Turnpike. Tracy Morgan's assistant, Jeffrey Millea, and comedian Ardie Fuqua Jr. were also injured in the crash.

Earlier, lawer Benedict P. Morelli dished out Tracy Morgan accident update to People magazine as he claimed that the comedian is "really having a tough time."

He said that walking on his own two feet might take months so right now, Tracy Morgan depends on the wheelchair as well as the help of his family in order to move around. But he's continuing with his therapy just inside his hope with the help of a specialist.

"He's making incremental progress but they'll have to wait another month before they assess him cognitively," the lawyer added.

The Tracy Morgan accident update is a welcome development for the fans eager to hear of any news about the comedian.

Last month, the "30 Rock" actor filed a lawsuit against Wal-Mart after alleging that the company knew its truck driver, Kevin Roper, did not comply with federal rules on driver fatigue.

"As a result of Wal-Mart's gross, reckless, willful, wanton, and intentional conduct, it should be appropriately punished with the imposition of punitive damages," BBC reported, quoting court papers.

The Wal-Mart truck driver, identified as Kevin Roper, 35, of Jonesboro, Ga. pleaded not guilty to reckless imprudence resulting in homicide as well as four counts of vehicular assault, said NJ.com.
