More details to this question:
In 2012, I was assaulted by my ex-boyfriend. As a result of said assault, I was left with a broken cheek bone and my bottom jaw was split in half which required my mouth wired shut.

In California, lawsuits for personal in juries must be filed within 2 years from the date of the injury [unless person agreed to pay you]. So it appears you are too late to sue.? If you get him to promise to pay you something [get it in writing if you can], then you could sue for breach of contract with the damages being what he promised to pay.
