Tracy Morgan flashed a huge smile and a peace sign when reporters caught up with him outside of his New Jersey home on Monday, which marked one of Morgan's first public appearances since he survived a fatal car crash last month.

The famous comic was critically injured on June 7 when a speeding Wal-Mart truck slammed into a limo bus carrying him and four others on the New Jersey Turnpike, CNN reported. The collision killed Morgan's longtime friend, comedian James McNair, aka Uncle Jimmy Mack, and seriously injured the other passengers.

The 45-year-old "30 Rock" star suffered from broken ribs, a broken nose, a broken femur and a broken leg in the accident. He was hospitalized for two weeks after the crash, and then he spent three weeks recovering in a rehabilitation center. Morgan was finally able to return home this week where he will undergo intensive outpatient treatment.

The former "Saturday Night Live" star seemed to be in amazingly good spirits when he was spotted leaving his home. Not only was he smiling, the comedian also spoke to reporters, saying "I'm O.K.," and "I love you very much. Thank you. I appreciate everything," before he was driven away in a black SUV, reports CBS News.

Morgan's spokesperson told Entertainment Tonight that "He asked me to pass along his sincerest gratitude to everyone who has helped him get to this point. He would also appreciate some privacy during this crucial point in his recovery."

Last week, Morgan and the other surviving victims from the crash filed a lawsuit against Wal-Mart for their careless and negligent ownership of the vehicle.

According to the suit, the retailer has a custom and practice of recklessly allowing its drivers to operate its trucks for long periods of time without adequate rest, Reuters reported.

The complaint states that an Arkansas-based Wal-Mart store in Bentonville knew or should have been aware that its truck driver, Kevin Roper, was awake for over 24 hours before the accident and that he should have been restricted from operating the vehicle due to federal regulations. The suit also claims that Roper drove over 700 miles prior to beginning his work shift.

The former "Saturday Night Live" actor and "the other plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages and attorneys' fees," Reuters reported.

Meanwhile, Roper has pleaded not guilty to charges of vehicular homicide and assault by auto.
