Wife got hit by a truck while walking

None of us have gone through this, so I am hoping to get some advice on what she should ask for monetarily since she is out of work, going through it, etc. Also, advice on lawyers and stuff. Everything I wrote here, is all I know.

She was walking out to her car from work across a main road, she stopped on the sidewalk to push the pedestrian button, and saw the numbers were already counting down, looked both ways and started crossing started walking - made it across four lanes while on the phone (not looking at the cars) and was hit by a truck, while still crossing the pedestrian sidewalk.

Video was obtained showing she had the right of way, and the guy that hit her, did it in a company truck. He also lied in his testimony and said my wife wasn't in the sidewalk.

She had her hip a little displaced. Which will require PT. Her clavicle was displaced, she had a concussion, and a rupture of two ligaments in her shoulder. This will require months of PT and her clavicle won't look the same again.

Thanks in advanced.
