Kevin Hart's attorney also spoke up about the car crash that caused Kevin Hart to suffer from major back injuries, saying the actor-comedian is not expected to get back to work until 2020. This is to give his body the time it needs to recover.

"While he's doing a little work here and there for the film, he doesn't expect to be fully back to work until the new year."

Kevin's Baby Steps Towards Full Recovery

The film Attorney Andrew Brettler is pertaining to is Hart's upcoming film, "Jumanji: The Next Level," for whom he shot promotional material for in the past week.

While Hart can now officially walk on his own, he still needs to sit most of the time and needs to undergo heavy physical therapy for him to go back to normal in no time.

Their Traumatizing Near-Death Experience

His friend, Jared Black, was driving Hart's newly-purchased 1970 Plymouth Barracuda in Malibu Hills when he lost control and veered off the road. This caused him to crash the vehicle into a wooden fence.

Hart and Black suffered "major back injuries," while Broxtermann suffered from minor injuries, as reported by California Highway Patrol.
