Tracy Morgan Update: ’30 Rock’ Actor May Not Work Again After Tragic Wal-Mart Car Crash ‘The Jury’s Still Out’ [VIDEO]

Tracy Morgan Fights Back After Walmart Blames Him For Injuries
On Tuesday, Morgan's lawyer Benedict Morelli told Page Six that "the jury's still out" on whether Morgan would perform again. "The doctors don't know the answer. I don't know the answer."
This painful conclusion came after Walmart blamed Morgan for not wearing his seatbelt in his limo that was hit by a Wal-Mart truck in June.
"By failing to exercise ordinary care in making use of available seatbelts, upon information and belief, plaintiffs acted unreasonably and in disregard of plaintiffs' own best interests," Walmart's 28-page response read. "Accordingly, all or a portion of the injuries could have been diminished or minimized by the exercise of reasonable conduct using the available seatbelts."
Morgan's lawyer Morelli then fired back and said he was "shocked" and "upset" at their claims.
"All of my clients have had traumatic brain injuries and they are all extremely injured," Morelli told ABC News. "It is actually an embarrassment that they are putting in an answer like this, blaming the victims. It is not appropriate." Morgan is still "trying to recover" after the tragic accident.
He also revealed Morgan was still using a wheelchair and walker since the tragedy. Morelli also said that the victims may have more injuries. "When you have a traumatic brain injury, you remember certain aspects. This isn't unusual - it wipes away certain thoughts."
