Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

While I was incarcerated the prison ignored my dental needs, even after agreeing to fix many problems. As a result I suffered over two years of pain (and still am in pain) because the prison didn�t do the work. The prison is suppose to do the work. They agreed to and I requested help, time and time again. I have two and a half years of documentation of the prison ignoring my results or flat out lying to me. The prison sent me to an out-of-state facility when they weren�t suppose to do to the dental problems and the �for-profit� prison was hearing anything I had to say. Some of the problems I know of are loss of bone in the upper and lower jaw, advanced parodontitis, numerous cavities, pus and blood emitting from the gums, and overall pain. Now that I�m out of prison, can I bring suit? I�m thinking yes, and I�m thinking after legal fees, medical treatment, and hopefully pain and suffering�.hmmm, I have a figure of 6 million. Is this nonsense or am I within reality?

Thank you for your time

Mr. Stone is referring to the statute of limitations. Even without the limitations issue, however, your figure is completely unrealistic.
