If you are now 19, it appears to be too late. Normally, a lawsuit for personal injuury in your state (e.g. a car accident) must be brought within 6 years of the injury. If you were as a minor, you have one year after you turn adult (turn 18) to bring the suit--that is, you'd have had to have filed the lawsuit before you turned 19.
