Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in California

nursing home abuse/medical malpractice

I recently posted a question and received a few answers..thank you..my posting was on my daughter passing away in a nursing home, after the staff gave her a drink of water, and she aspirated and choked to death. My daughter was disabled due to a car accident when she was 15 months old. The nursing home incident, she was 30 years old, and I placed her for a 72 hr. respite. This nursing home incident took place July of 2004, I had an attorney, I terminated him for personal reasons, and was told the facility hadn't any insurance. The doctor on for the week end, treated her for pnemonia, which autopsy proved different. My question again, is medical malpractice practical for this case, though I filed for the negligence and abuse, in August of 2004. I've been told ''Discovery'' would have to be filed or something to this matter. Is there a statue on medical malpractice even though I filed a lawsuit with the facility..but not on medical malpractice. Could someone please explain if I can sue the doctor on call, though it's been 4 years. I have proof of evidence, with the facility being charged with 5 charges, stemming from fraud, comsumer legal remedy act, dependant adult abuse, negligence and neglect. Please help me..thank you...
