You should see an attorney immediately. Each case is different, and needs to be examined individually.  You may have a claim for additional damages, assuming that you have not already waived your right to future suit.  Also, in each state there is a time limit to file suit.  It is called the statute of limitations.  The attorney should be familiar with the time constraints, and should review any documentation and paperwork you have. This is not intended to be legal advice, and is general in its nature. No attorney-client relationship exists or is formed by this information.
