Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

rights of criminals to sue

How is it that a bank robber on parole robs a bank and then can sue the bank, the police, the hospital, and the security pack manufacturers when he sustains second and third degree burn injuries from the security pack he puts his money in? What are the legal ground for this and how did he win the case based on them?
