Who would you sue? Who do you claim is at fault? Was the cactus an open and obvious danger? Are you renting the place where the accident occurred? Please provide more information so that we can answer your question.

Thanks,

Interesting question. If this cactus was a yucca also known as a Spanish Bayonet I had a similar case for a client some years ago. I also had the dangerous spiked plant in the yard of my newly purchased home. After cutting the stiff spikes, I realized it was hopeess and pulled up all the plants. I have found the plants have been replaced by a similar looking cactus with soft non dangerous spikes.

If this was the dangerous yucca, you may have a case against your landlord for an unsafe condition. You may call me at 305-305-3351. If you contact a local lawyer, tell him to search Fastcase for "YUCCA" and he will find the caselaw.
