Any info on how to collect money owed from a slip and fall without involving a lawyer in Florida?

Looking for any info on how to collect money for medical bills, even if my HMO has paid all but a 0.00 co pay. Can I ask the apartment owner where I fell to pay the total? I am in FL. Fell into a sprinkler hole that was supposed to have a cover on it like all the others did around it. Taken by ambulance to hospital and trying to get money for medical bills and just wondering how I go about askig for the max WITHOUT getting a lawyer involved, just to save all involved money. Or can you point me in the direction on where to find the info. THANKS
Thanks there John for your 2 cents, but I was jogging at night on the course THEY have for us to use with big lights and eveything. However, someone failed to place a cover back on the very LARGE hole they dug to install a sprinkler or something. The other holes around it were all covered and I did tell maintenece about it and this was back in 10-6 and as of right now it is still there. And for those who felt the need to complain about hlth insur on the rise, that would be the reason I am trying to do this WITHOUT a lawyer and ask for my medical bills, NOT pain and sufering and everything else lawyers love to use. I was trying to leave it alone but after the ttl of a ambulance ride, MRI and now PT things are a bit coslty. So yes I did tell them and nothing….its still there and I was watching were I was running, however I do not run with my head down looking at the grass. I do try to look ahead to make sure I dont run into anything..this was a hole with grass growing over it, NO COVER

    Why do people sue over stupid stuff, i mean really yeah they should of put a cover on it, but you should watch where your walking. If every one would quit being greedy maybe our insurance rates would drop alittle.
