jail misconduct

if i was assaulted in jail due to officer negligence is the jail responsible for the doctor bill ?? i can prove it due to kites , and a 25 page log of what happened, other paperwork and witnesses.. i have been told i need to talk to a lawyer about my situation.. i ended up with 2 broken bones in my back.. also is if possible that i have a case

i also feel the way they conducted themselves after the situation was wrong

i live in washington state
