Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida

Permanent Injury Case?

I was involved in an accident about a year ago tripped and fell down the steps in a Law Off. This occurred because there was a phone line tapped across the platform before you go down that first step. I was their tech support (contractor 2’x a wk for 4 months at ave. of 2 hours per/day in different site location with the law firm) at the time I was carrying a PC from the second floor to the first. Tripped and stumbled down the steps (10-15 count). Laid there for about 30-45 seconds before I got up. Got. I went to the emergency room that day and they did X-Rays still having issues and they did and MRI which they have found permanent injury. I’m currently going on pain management and taking some prescription pain med. What really bugs the heck out me is that after I fell, the law firm did not move the obstacle that causes me to fall but instead tape it several times more.( happened on a Fri and was still there Mon). I have talked to local attorneys in my town and they are willing and happy to take my case until they find out who I’m trying to sue and they act like I’m deceased or sometime. They suggest that I talk to the lawfirm where I had my accident and work with them about compensation. Is this a good idea? I was supposed to j

It sounds like you definitely have a case. I don't know what city you are in, but certainly get a lawyer. You will not be able to properly represent yourself objectively. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me.
