In the context of incarceration in Cook County Jail and mold exposure, you could potentially have grounds for a lawsuit. However, the viability of such a claim would depend on many factors, including the extent of your exposure and any health effects you've experienced as a result.
They can't find any record or incident report for my case at all. No officer sworn report either.
