On Friday, her representatives will bring her case to Connecticut's Judiciary Committee. In June 2013, the Office of the Claims Commissioner denied Nash’s petition for her suit. The Raw Story pointed out that Connecticut law mandates that lawsuits against the state have to be approved by lawmakers. “That you have to depend on other people for help now, it’s very hard.” “It’s a different world to not be able to see again or to use your hands and just do things for yourself,” Nash told the newspaper. Representatives of Nash also released a brief video to lawmakers that reveals the woman walking in a private medical facility near Boston in which she currently lives, according to The Hartford Courant.
Nash spokesperson Shelly Sindland told CNN that a $4 million settlement Nash received from the chimp’s owner, Sandra Herold, is hardly enough to cover the victim's medical expenses.

The shocking incident came to an end when police shot and killed the chimp, which had appeared in a few TV ad campaigns. Nash also needed to have a face transplant and a number of surgeries after the ape tore through her eyes, nose and lips, the Raw Story explained. Nash would reportedly use the money partly to pay for transplants for both of her hands, which were ripped apart in the attack at the friend’s house.
