The Statute of Limitations against the State ran long ago, so no you cannot go after the State. However, if there was a recovery when you were a minor and a trust fund set up on your behalf, it may still be available to you. You should search old legal filings in the county of the accident to see if a suit was ever brought on your behalf, find out who handled it and try to track down the trust fund . . if there is one. You may alternatively want to hire an investigator to do this for you.
