Wow, that's a brutal addition of stress when there's already so much physical and emotional stress. I can't imagine what that must add.
I know about a week after my fall, my husband asked me if we were going to sue the owners of the property and owners of the horse that I was riding and I told him there was no way I could even consider that, the stress, the thinking, etc that would come with doing that. I still couldn't.
Besides, in my case, #1, I signed a waiver (which doesn't mean much, I know) and #2, I'm friends with the property/horse owner and #3, horses will be horses and it was a series of flukes from start to finish that ended with me on my head and my helmet smashed. (Not that I remember, I lost about 3 hours of memories, 1 hour before the fall and 2 after.)
I suppose I'm lucky, my life is generally setup around being home (my husband works in town and I run the hobby farm) so I've not had that change in routine... just have scaled back dramatically what gets done. I'm normally hermit- like
