Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida

Your question requires fact specific information. Was the hole an "open and obvious" hazard? Was there any special circumstances about this hole that made it difficult to notice by casual observation? Did the condo association take any precautions to prevent a co-owner from accessing the cover? Was the cover secured in any special way that needed a tool or key to open?

Did the co-owner leave this open intentionally or negligently? Is the walkway a common area or a limited common area? If it is a limited common area, who does it belong to? Do you have any physical incapabilities that made you particularly susceptible to your inability to notice the open hole? If so, did the co-owner know of your incapabilities? Is the co-owner "uncollectible", in bankruptcy, etc? Have you filed a claim against the condominium association? Does your association require co-owners to carry liability insurance? If you haven't had your case reviewed by a personal injury attorney, further delay may cause you to lose an opportunity to file a claim due to statute of limitations.

XConsider an action against the offender even if he has no insurance if he is otherwise solvent. You should nt have to bear the burden for his carelessness..
