More than a year after the accident the Emmy-nominated actress is still recovering and is still coping with the physical and emotional pain from the accident.
When asked how she is getting on today she simply said "it's alright" but she was still able to be positive about the situation.
"I'm aware of it every day not being one hundred percent," she said. "At least it wasn't my face torn open," she added.
The lawsuit was filed against the other driver involved in the crash and Hertz Rent-a-Car. Shortly after the accident that occurred on Aug. 15, 2012, Bialik wrote several blog posts to shoot down several rumors that had been started in the wake of the accident.
"I had a horrible accident," she wrote, noting that she was "lefty typing" due to the damage her right hand sustained during the accident.
"I will be okay," she continued. "I have all my fingers but a very impaired right hand. It was very bloody and scary but I am ok. A man named Tim and another man whose name I don't know saved me from losing a lot of blood and helped me talk to my husband at the scene. I am grateful to them."
