A local resident has filed a lawsuit against a prominent fitness company, alleging negligence that led to severe injuries. Jahkeen Gilmore lodged the complaint in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida, on July 30, 2024, targeting Fitness International, LLC.

According to the court documents, Gilmore was a business invitee at Fitness International’s premises located at 1925 N Military Trail, West Palm Beach, FL, on December 15, 2023. The plaintiff claims that while visiting the facility, she slipped and fell due to slippery floor conditions. This incident resulted in significant and permanent bodily injuries for which she holds Fitness International accountable.

The complaint asserts that Fitness International had an explicit duty to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition for business invitees like Gilmore. The document states: “Defendant expressly assumed responsibility for the maintenance and cleanliness of the aforementioned premises and had a duty to maintain same in a reasonably safe condition.” It further alleges that the company failed in this duty by allowing hazardous conditions to exist on its property.
