Re: personal injury
Liability is responsibility for blameworthy conduct which can result in a judgment against you. I think you are seeking the monetary award here. One can make a State claim against a municipality or State for injuries suffered while incarcerated. Also, under certain circumstances, there are Federal Civil Rights claims that can be made.
