Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida
If a nail salon gives a pedicure and causes a client's toes to get infected, does the client have grounds to sue?

If you can prove your claim with a medical expert, you should have a cause of action. It also depends on the severity of the injury.
Without a permanent injury there is no value in pursuit of this kind of case. You would also have to prove that they caused it due to negligence.
What the other lawyers have said is basically you have grounds, but you need to find a lawyer to take the case on a contingency (no fee unless they recover). Most lawyers will not put time into a case without permanent injury. If there were some unusual and significant permanent injury, then maybe you could find a lawyer. If not, that's very unlikely. So you could theoretically hire and pay a lawyer to help you (which wouldn't be worth the money you would have to spend on attorneys fees, again unless you had some unusually significant and permanent injury), or pursue the case yourself without a lawyer (which is never advisable). So, bottom line, you should call a lawyer if the toe infection led to a permanent injury that required significant treatment. Otherwise, finding a lawyer will likely be a challenge.
