During my primary education, I suffered an injury to my head as a result of a teacher's negligence & I soon thereafter developed a 'tic' disorder which worsened to Tourette syndrome, which has resulted in anxiety, depression & suicidal ideation as well as many other personal issues. I'm now seeking help from a psychologist. I've been living with all of these problems for 10 years and there is no sign that it will be going any time soon. I am only now thinking that I should seek monetary compensation for the years of suffering from my disability that effects me immensely in daily life & holding a job down.
The only reason why I haven't seeked compensation sooner is that I know it's going to be really hard to try & prove that my injuries were of direct result of the teacher's negligence & there is no obvious signs of brain injury (CT scans), as it seems that my problem is mostly neurological.
My question is that I'm not sure that I should go through all of the frustrations & stress of trying to claim. Would it be worth it really???
How much do you think that I'd get paid out.

There is a statue of limitations on all lawsuits. I honestly think that after 10 years, you are going to be away too late to file a suit. You'll have to check in your state to see what the time lines are. There are different rules for different states, but most will be from 1-5 years. If you haven't filed in that time frame you are out of luck
