Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida

Yes. Question: Was it done negligently or intentionally, is the person collectible or has insurance?

Yes, but there will be a number of issues to be resolved. Whether the person who infected you knew they had HIV? If not, should they have known? Did they act intentionally or negligently? Do they have applicable liability insurance or other substantial assets. You should consult with a personal injury attorney right away. Most personal injury attorneys provide a first consultation free of charge.

As the other lawyers have said, you definitely can sue. The bigger question is usually whether you can find a lawyer who will take the case on contingency. That requires them to evaluate likelihood of wining, which involves whether there is solid proof that this person infected you with HIV, and knew, or should have known, that they had HIV. For a lawyer to take the case, there usually must be solid evidence that they acted intentionally or negligently. Then, and this is a biggie, most lawyers will not take a case on a contingent fee basis unless the person either has very substantial collectible assets or an applicable liability insurance policy. That's where things might become problematic. Best of luck to you!
