Based on the information given in your question, it might be possible that your criminal record may come up if the Defendant (the insurance company of business where the slip & fall occurred) can demonstrate that the information is relevant. Additional facts will be needed to assess your particular case - however, do not post the specifics on this, or any other, public forum.
Feel free to contact our office for additional details. Good luck.

In Florida, an expungement does not come in. Only felony crimes where there is a finding of guit or a plea of guilty does it come in, unless it is a crime involving dishonesty.
