Any claims you might have are likely barred by the applicable statute(s) of limitation. Typically, you must sue within 3 years of the date of negligence. It appears that you are indicating that the negligence happened when you were a minor. That would mean that you have 3 years from your 18th birthday to file suit - i.e., the day you turned 21, your claims would be time barred.
