Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida

Re: I'm being sued - Someone fell in my home

I have handled many of these uninsured cases. You need counsel to protect your interests. None of your ides will work. Suggest you contact me. Good luck.

Re: I'm being sued - Someone fell in my home

If you are the owner of the home then the claim for personal injury will be against you personally. Naturally, making a claim does not a final judgment make. The plaintiff would still be required to prove both liability and damages, and obtain a final judgment against you, before being able to pursue any of your assets. You may have strong defenses to any claim that may be made, but you will need to retain counsel experienced in defending these types of matters. Had you been insured at the time of the incident, then the insurance carrier would have paid for defending your interests (minus any deductible), including attorneys' fees and costs. That cost will now come out of your pocket. Obtaining insurance after the fact will not cover it unless you disclosed the incident to the carrier and paid a larger premium to commence coverage retroactively, but it's unlikely that's the case.
