Answer

FL HOA law governs the enforcement of contracts between HOA and owner. Your inquiry indicates you were on the homeowner's property which subjects you to the HOA agreement. Of course, it is necessary to read the HOA agreement to fully understand rights and responsibilities. You may have a claim based on damage to your truck; however, based on the facts, your HOA customer may not have realized the HOA rules governing the property.
