which is in Southern California on my behalf back in 2003 for personal injury against the City County and Sheriffs Department of that county. The reason was due to an injury I sustained while being arrested, my hand became numb due to a handcuff injury (handcuffs were placed on to tight, I even have a scar), I saw two orthopedic doctors and all one did was take xrays and said he found no permanent damage, the other said he concurred with the first.
The lawyer could not do anything because the doctors supposedly found nothing, so I left it at that.
I however continue to suffer from a numb hand, its my right hand, there is also weakness when I try to carry something heavy or try making a fist.
I really think the doctors lied and didnt want to get involved because it was a suit against the local police and city and county. I think I made a mistake and should have seeked a lawyer and doctor from out of town.
My question is this, I know there is a 2 years statute of limitations
for filing a suit, does this apply to doing anything at all? reason is I did file a complaint withing the right time, however nothing came about it, can I reopen the case or have another attorney take over since it was never closed?
shorty, take it from me, it was due to the handcuffs ok. thanks though
