Legal Question in Personal Injury in Maryland

You may have a claim against the city, or whoever operates their jail, if it can be shown that they were negligent in failing to protect your son against that sort of event if they knew or should have known based on previous problems involving the assailant and your son of the potential for this kind of event. That will be hard to prove. There may also be a claim for negligent medical care. Contact a personal injury attorney who is experienced in "jail/prison" cases for further assistance.
