Q: I want a lawyer in the clearwater fl area. I was told I couldn't file a lien against a owner's property for medical.
Fell inside his condo where a staple or nail made me fall down the stairs. I show him the pictures of cracked knee . A screen door he didn't fix as he promised, fell and hit a paraplegic in the head while sitting on the patio. He kept 600 of my security deposit, after telling me I would get it at the end of the month.
A: A property owner owes a legal duty to its guests to make sure its premises are safe. If the property owner fails to repair any dangerous condition on its property which causes damages to his guest, then the guest can sue the owner for a) his past and future medical bills b) all past and future pain and suffering and c) lost wages and any future loss of earning capacity. You should retain counsel here in central Florida on contingency fee which means you pay nothing unless you win.
