If I understand that you were a prisoner when you were injured, you need to file a 1983 claim in Federal court. See your correctional counselor for the form you need.

You should call legal aid. There are groups that assist prisoners with claims, including workers compensation claims and section 1983 claims. You may also want to call the Fresno County Bar Association for a referral through the lawyer referral program.
