Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida

Hello, & thanks, I updated the bottom of my question.....I was at a bar for maybe 5 mins, I didnt not even have a drink, A bouncer came up to me and offered me a chicken leg,"a drumstick" its was very tiny I thought it was a free sample, so after holding for around 30 secs I took a bit, the bouncer than said 5 bucks. I told him I have the money and will pay, but I said u need to watch how ur approaching people, I said u didnt sell that u offered it, I said what if u had said 10 bucks or 20. I was just making a point. He then lifted me up and bodyslammed me to the floor, drug me down 40 steps, & threw me into the street.

Now im 145 pounds, tall and skinny, not scarry at all.. Long story short, I had 7 hours of surgery, he broke my colar bone, shoulder bone, and ripped all my ac joints and tendions, I now have to metal plates in my shoulder, and they cut off a good peice of my clavical bone.

Now his story has changed several times, he's been in 3 fights that i know of since then. Also I was so drunk that the 2 bouncers downs stairs let me in after i paid the cover & showed ID, so I couldnt have been that trashed to get by them.

I know u cant put a price but, really what should I be exspecting from, my medical bills are around 20,000 . I lost my job, cant work, cant lift anything over 10 pounds, I sleep in a sling & have been doing so for 4 months now. Thanks

Lets say I dont have a witness, they cant be allowed to hurt someone like that can they, and by law arent they supposed to call the cops, but he didnt cause he knows he was out of line... but again what kind of money would be exspected ruffly

Without a witness, it is your word against their word. Tough case.
