After the statue of limitations run out for medical malpractice is there anything else the victim can do?

legally to make the dr/doctors involved take resposibility for the damage that they caused? I had eye surgery at Kaiser and I look like a freak my eye is 97% red all of the time and it looks like a ball of jelly. The surger was to straighten a crooked eye that I was born with it's technically called strabismis, my eye is still crooked but now instead of it going toward the left it's crooked towards the right. Then day after the surgery my eye was infected. I went back the surgeon said that it was normal and just healing well I wasn鈥檛 in a normal amount of pain so I got a second opinion & that doctor said something 2 the fact that it鈥檚 2 soon 2 tell because she couldn鈥檛 see past the scaring tissue. I sought the advise of an attorney in SF he asked me 2 send pictures and a copy of my medical records,I did. He sent me a letter saying that he wouldn鈥檛 take my case (no time) he advised me about the SOL & told me 2 keep looking for an attorny. The SOL passed, is there anything that I can do?

You can file an official complaint with your state's licensing board. You can file complaints with the Chamber of Commerce and Better Business Bureau. You can also formally complain to the Hospital/Clinic where the physician is employed. You will not get any money.

Get an attorney right away. Sometimes, the statute of limitations can be "tolled" - especially in med mal cases - until the victim actually discovers the negligence. You need to consult an attorney in the state where this happened. I wouldn't waste any time. If your first attorney is right, you may already be out of luck.

Contact your state attorney generals office and ask them for your state. they can send you in the right direction.
