More details to this question:
I was jumped and this guy which i picked out in a line up broke my hip and i had to get a hip replacement. This happened 6-27-17 and he still hasn't been arrested. I called the State Attorney's office and they no nothing about my case. I even gave the case # and they still don't know. I'm trapped in my apartment because this guy is still free and i don't want to go back to the hospital. Can i sue for failure to protect and for them not investigating my case and for my damages ?

Nope - there is immunity for that. Typically, there is more to such a story and that may be an issue with the State Attorney's willingness to waste tax dollars prosecuting what may be to them a sketchy case. By example the WHY and HOW did this guy allegedly jump you is typically the forefront of such an issue.
