Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

In 2005 I was attacked in a road rage incident.

I was left with serious injuries which are still impacting my daily life. The person convicted of teh crime has yet to fullfill their terms of probation. Upon the advice of my attorney no civil action was taken based on facts presented by the criminal. It has now surfaced that material facts represented by them were false. My question; Is there anything I can do at this point or has the statute of limitations run out. This was a California crime.

The statute of limitations for bringing a civil action for personal injury in California is two years, and it was the two year period in 2005. Your time to file a civil lawsuit has long since expired. The attorney that told you not to file a civil lawsuit was an idiot.
