Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Michigan

Oral surgery caused permanent damage that was not forseen at the time...
Some years ago I had oral surgery to remove four impacted wisdom teeth. In the surgery my surgeon broke my jaw and left me with a serious cross bite. He also cut a vein and did not properly repair it. After missing a month of work and repeated visits to this doctor I decided to consult someone else. They repaired the vein and sent me on my way. I consulted an attorney not long after due to the prompting of family members. However, the attorney said no claim since there was no permanent damage. However, because of this surgery I have persistent jaw pain and problems, not to mention the serious overbit that did not exist prior to the surgery. I know that the statute is probably been and gone... however, what recourse do people have for problems that show up after the fact, however, are attributed to the occurance? Thank you for your help.

Once the statute has gone, it is virtually impossible to sue. No one would touch this case because it will be impossible to prevail. William S. Stern
