More details to this question:
after visiting a friend at the Baypines V.A. Medical Ctr., Baypines, Fl., i was returning to my vehicle in the parking lot., and was walking behind parked vehicles and tripped on a piece of ' rebar ' sticking out of the ground at about a 45 degree angle. It was almost impossible to see because of it's color which resembled the color of the brown leaves covering the ground. I will have yet to be determined medical expenses, as well as having to replace a pair of prescription glasses which have a big scratch on the lens. Thank you.

It certainly sounds like you may have a good claim, but like you said, it will depend on the extent of your injuries and medical bills. You should reach out to an attorney, the sooner the better. A good personal injury attorney can not only evaluate your case, but can help you in recommending the best treatment options, as well as compensation for your injuries and other damages. While any attorney in Florida can theoretically handle your case, a local personal injury attorney usually has connections and recommendations for local doctors and other treatment. Almost all do this at no cost to you unless they recover for you. You can contact most attorneys on this site by clicking their profile which will usually give you a phone number and website.
