Possibly. You would want to get your facts clarified first to show there was some type of gross negligence of jail personnel. There may a video that could help or could exonerate the police. You should talk to a personal injury or civil rights attorney. Good luck.

You need a civil litigation attorney to answer this question. Perhaps a personal injury attorney.

You would need to talk to an attorney personal injury and civil rights attorney. Whether the jail or its employees are negligent or violated any civil rights would depend on the facts. If you were injured by another inmate that was not being properly supervised or restrained that might impose some liability on the jail. I suspect there would be video but you would need to make a request that the video be preserved as soon as possible.

You should definitely contact a lawyer right away. Important evidence needed to prove your claim can get lost if not preserved quickly. Talk to a lawyer who practices near that jail to at least get your questions answered. Make sure you call someone you can trust who knows what they are doing.
