Personal Injury Lawsuit - Violent Attack

I was attacked last January by a man who has now been sentenced to life in prison. The attack resulted in a mild traumatic brain injury and entailed quite a bit of speech therapy. Additionally, I'm now prone to seizures as a result of the assault. This happened only a few months after completing cancer treatments. This took place in a bar/restaurant lit parking lot with a security camera. The camera was not working and there was no security person present despite the busy and precarious area (this is along a strip of bars and restuarants in Dallas' popular Lower Greenville area). I've learned the bar/restaurant owner did not have insurance coverage at the time of the attack. If I decide to pursue this case, do I have much of a chance in obtaining a settlement? If this owner has no assets other than the bar and restaurant incorporation (not the property), how would this work in my favor? Texas' Homestead Act does not allow creditors to overtake one's place of residence. The only option seems to be the bar, but how would this work? Is there an option to take over the business or sell it? Thank you in advance for your assistance. Kristine Is it possible to eventually own the

I am not a lawyer, but I don't see a duty on the part of the owner to maintain his parking lot as "safe", unless there were (1) previous incidents IN the parking lot which (2) were brought to the owner's attention, and (3) "reasonable" remedies that the owner COULD have taken would help. What good would the working security camera do you? A security guard being present MIGHT have helped, but I'm not entirely sure it would be considered "reasonable". I wish I could be of more help, but I really don't see it. -- This account is subject to a persistent MS Blaster and SWEN attack.
