Legal Question in Personal Injury in Michigan
assultive injury
I got my head beat in while in a county jail cell by a bi-polar 17 yr-old kid. The cops saw it all on tape but did nothing until it was over. I went to the hospital and released from the hospital. I now have permanent eye damage (documented) and will never see right again. Can I sue?

Re: assultive injury
You absolutely can sue. The police cannot stand by and do nothing until the beating is over. The laws of qualified immunity should not save the police in such a situation. If we can obtain a copy of the tape proving the beating that would be a good start.
