( CNN ) -- Walmart 's response Monday to a lawsuit filed by Tracy Morgan over the car crash that left him in critical condition elicited a response of its own on Tuesday from the recovering comedian -- and it does n't sound like he 's laughing . `` I ca n't believe Walmart is blaming me for an accident that they caused , '' the former `` Saturday Night Live '' star said in a statement . Police say that a truck driven by Walmart employee Kevin Roper in the early morning hours of June 7 collided with the rear of a limo bus that was carrying Morgan and four others on the New Jersey Turnpike . A preliminary report by the National Transportation Safety Board said that Roper was traveling 20 mph over the speed limit and that he was almost at his drive time limit . The wreck left Morgan , 45 , with broken ribs , a broken nose and a broken leg . Morgan 's friend , comedian James McNair , was killed , and two others were injured . Roper pleaded not guilty in June to criminal charges that include vehicular homicide and assault by auto . In July , Morgan filed suit against the big box chain , saying the company was negligent for not knowing that Roper had been awake for more than 24 hours at the time of the accident . On Monday , lawyers for the largest retailer in the world responded by pointing the finger back at Morgan in a court filing in which they said the actor 's injuries were `` caused , in whole or in part , by plaintiffs ' failure to properly wear an appropriate available seat belt restraint device , '' and that Morgan and company had `` acted unreasonably and in disregard of ( their ) own best interests . '' The chain also noted the possibility that the injuries `` may have been caused by third parties over whom Walmart had no control . '' `` My friends and I were doing nothing wrong , '' said Morgan . On Tuesday , Walmart issued a more conciliatory statement that downplayed Monday 's filing . `` Walmart is committed to working to resolve all of the remaining issues as a result of the accident . As part of the ordinary course of legal proceedings , Walmart filed an initial response yesterday to the lawsuit that included facts and defenses that may impact the case moving forward . While we were required to respond to the lawsuit , we have also taken steps to encourage settlement discussions . Our thoughts continue to go out to everyone involved , and we remain committed to doing what 's right . '' Morgan -- who has not specified the amount of damages he 's seeking -- also had a message for his fans . `` I want to thank my fans for sticking with me during this difficult time . I love you all . I 'm fighting hard every day to get back . ''
