Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida

slip and fall amended to battery

I broke up with a girlfriend and she filed a slip and fall complaint against me, then amended it to a verified complaint of battery. She had stubbed her toe at my house the week I ended the relationship, then a week later got a lawyer and took an x-ray( which was inconclusive )and sued me for $250,000. No medical bills. I have 1 witness who saw her stub her toe, another who saw her walking on high heels for a week with the bruised toe before filing the complaint. My lawyer dragged the case out for 3 years and $30,000 until I fired him and am now pro se. Does this have to go to trial, or can I present this for summary judgment and get it dismissed?

Too much information is needed to give an adequate response.

Let's get back not pro-se - especially as you have come this far.

Unless you present conclusive proof in admissable form, you will be wasting your time. Retain counsel for the trial. Good luck.
