How can I find court cases similar to mine?
You probably can't. Cases that are reported are appellate cases. They are cases that were appealed because at least one party believed an error had been made. There are very, very few cases that are reported at the trial level. You're going to need access to lexis or westlaw to even look.

I need help with statute 715.07 in FL. The towing statute.. Please help if you've had a similar experience
Ok so basically what happened is I was a live-in nanny for a few wks ( left because of sexual harassment) I was living in a gated condo community. I ended up leaving and moving to Cali. Before I left I called the front of the condo assoc. and asked if my car could be parked there for the month it would take me to get it and they said that was fine since it wasn't disrupting traffic. So anyways It got towed!!! I live in Los Angeles now so this was very bad for me as I have a full time position there. Well they broke the statute by towing it too far away. They towed it 13 miles instead of the 10 and there were many inside the 10 mile radius. They have been very rude and their lawyer replied to me with. " The Association does not agree with your recitation of the facts or interpretation of the law. It will not reimburse you for the costs you incur to release your vehicle." Please help!!!! I need to leave for Cali tomorrow!!!! Thank you all.
What is "case law"? Is it a legal precedent put in place by a certain case?
As opposed to statutes—legislative acts that proscribe certain conduct by demandingor prohibiting something or that declare the legality of particular acts—case law is adynamic and constantly developing body of law. Each case contains a portion whereinthe facts of the controversy are set forth as well as the holding and dicta—anexplanation of how the judge arrived at a particular conclusion. In addition, a casemight contain concurring and dissenting opinions of other judges.Since the U.S. legal system has a common-law system, higher court decisions are binding on lower courts in cases with similar facts that raise similar issues. The concept of precedent, or Stare Decisis, means to follow or adhere to previously decided cases in judging the case at bar. It means that appellate case law should be considered as binding upon lower courts.
