The statute of limitations on this was probably 2 years. Bringing it a little over a year later is normal. Hell, a lot of people wait until the last possible minute.
There's a lot of things that could've gone on in that time. One is that he was probably trying to deal with the medical stuff. He wouldn't be out that much $$$ for medical costs because his insurance would've covered it.
Some people want to recuperate more before thinking about and dealing with the stress of a lawsuit. It also takes a little while to gather some of the information before filing a complaint. Also, they may have been trying to settle, but weren't getting anywhere so they filed a suit.
In any event, there's nothing abnormal about that time period.
I'm curious as to why no criminal charges were filed, though. I don't quite buy that they didn't know who the perpetrators were or couldn't find out fairly easily.
