Tracy Morgan is still recovering from the car accident in June which claimed the life of his fellow comedian and friend Jimmy Mack McNair.

Hearing Scheduled For Tracy Morgan-Walmart Suit

"He's fighting to get better, and if there's a chance for him to be back to the Tracy Morgan he once was, he's going to try to do that," said Morgan's lawyer Benedict Morelli to Variety on Tuesday.

Morelli claimed that the SNL and 30 Rock alum had suffered a brain injury and that there is still a lot they don't know at this time.

Tracy Morgan Fires Back At Walmart Following Latest Claims

"When you have a traumatic brain injury it takes a very long time to find out how you're going to do and how much you're going to recover," explained Morelli. "You just don't know. So that's where he is. He's still fighting and trying to liver his life at the same time and trying to get better, and he's just not better."

Morgan was officially released from rehabilitation on July 12, though he still has a difficult road ahead of him in terms of recovery.

The actor, along with three other survivors, has filed a law suit against Walmart. The accident occurred when the driver of a Walmart truck struck Morgan's limo on the N.J. Turnpike, triggering the six-vehicle accident. Allegedly, the driver had fallen asleep at the wheel after being awake for over 24 hours.

"We're hoping and praying to get him [Morgan] back to where he was," said Morelli, "But the jury's out."
