With $40K in medical bills, you absolutely have a case and should contact a personal injury attorney right away. You can either wait until your case settles and your bills will be paid then, or have your own insurance take care of them now to the extent you have coverage either with your auto insurance policy or your health insurer. Then, typically, your insurer will want the money back from your settlement.
