A: I'm truly sorry to hear about your distressing experience. In California, you may be able to sue the Sheriff Department for negligence or another related claim if their actions directly resulted in your injury. I recommend consulting with an attorney experienced in personal injury or civil rights to discuss the details of your situation and the best way to move forward.
