You are not wrong but the county enjoys what we call tort immunity which gives county officials including its officers immunity from negligent performance of their duty. Depending on your specific circumstance which should be reviewed by an attorney who can review all the facts and circumstance of your particular case, chances are any claim you make will be dismissed.
I hope this helps.
