How long ago? Do you have medical bills? Did you report it to the police?

Re: medical issues from past abuse
I'm sorry to learn of your condition. To answer your question, you have to (1) prove that the assault proximately caused your condition and (2) do so before the applicable statute of limitations runs on the case.
