Florida Property Damage Legal Questions

    Hi Denisa,   Accident cases can be very frustrating when you try to handle them yourself. More facts are needed which can be discussed in consultation with a Personal Injury/ Car Accident attorney who can investigate this matter on your behalf and determine all possible responsible parties rather attempting to pursue this on your own.  An experienced professional can guide and advise you and evaluate your  claim.

Could the realtor or broker have breached a duty?  The questions are too numerous for the forum, but the point being that if the details line up, you could have a claim.  It generally comes down to what you can prove was known, what was revealed, and what opportunities you had to find out.  If you are interested in pursuing legal action, your best bet is to sit down with an attorney to look at the documents and discuss the details.  ...
