The likelihood of obtaining a positive jury verdict depends on many factors such as the facts of your case, proving that the owner had a dangerous condition and knew about it before or should have known about it and failed to correct the dangerous condition in tome; your likability, your injuries; your previous medical history, etc. if you have a criminal conviction (felony) the defense may be able to get it into evidence, but it doesn't necessarily mean you will lose the case.
