Very sorry for your sad experience. However, something that occurred in 2016 cannot be entered on your 2017 tax return. If you had medical expenses to claim for this it has to be on your 2016 tax return. You can amend your 2016 tax return if it would change the results of that tax return. It is very tough to claim medical expenses. For a 2016 return, the threshold for medical expenses was only expenses over 10% of your AGI could count toward your itemized deductions, which still have to exceed your standard deduction.
