If they recover and find the wallet.dat file I`m sure it can be restored.

Dont give up!

I haven't used multibit, but I imagine it's just like other wallets so you can put any wallet.dat file in and synch it up and your coins will still be there no problems. Always make sure to back up your wallets though.

Multibit uses the .wallet extension

Nonetheless, it's still a wallet file. If it can be successfully recovered, then you have your private keys and access to your coins =D
If you can't, well you're done for.

My situation

Mac book pro crashed unexpectedly damaging the hard drive.  Apple tried to lift the data and place a new OS and then put my data back, that failed. They recommended data doctors. 

Data doctors can fully recover my data. I had just recently started using Multibit. I did not have the file backed up anywhere on the drive, however it should be there w the full data recovery. Once the new OS is installed can I do my transfer my data back to the new hard drive and open my Multibit wallet like nothing ever changed or is it gone forever

Any help or advice is much appreciated!
