According to the biological mother, my child suffered a broken arm, broken leg, and broken ribs due to the accident. She cannot recall what agreement was negotiated with insurance company.

Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done for the following reasons: (1) If the case was settled with the insurance company, the biological mother signed a release of all claims preventing a future lawsuit or (2) If the case was not settled, the two year statute of limitations in CA for filing a lawsuit in a personal injury case has expired barring a lawsuit.
