crooked cops and crazy cabbie

in Illinois:

I was the victim of assault at the hands of a crazy cab driver who was paranoid I was not going to pay him a fare once he brought me to the place I hired him to. I called the police and when they came the cab driver falsely accused me of refusing to pay him a fare. The police ignored the crime the cab driver committed and told me to pay him a fare. So I said I would and took out money to pay him. They then arrested me and they also falsely accused me of refusing to pay a cab fare. I have sued the cab driver and cab company in a county court for assault and malicious prosecution. I am also looking into suing the police in federal court for a false arrest under Section 1983 violation of constitutional rights.

The main thing I am concerned about now is if they say I'm suing for the same thing twice by listing similar damages in different cases. Even though each defendant would only be sued once in one court, there might be a similarity in the counts and the damages I am seeking compensation for.

The assault in the cab is definitely unique to the cab driver.

The federal civil rights issue because of the false arrest and false imprisonment in a cell behind bars is unique to the police.

But the other damages caused to me from that malicious prosecution, false charge, false arrest are something that both the cab driver and police contributed to.

Since the different defendants each made their own actions and they are in different courts for a good reason, would it be ok to list the same damages in two different cases?
