A Florida resident has filed a lawsuit after suffering a severe fall on freshly painted stairs that lacked proper warning signs. Glenn Sacci, the plaintiff, filed the complaint in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida, on November 27, 2024, against Richman Property Services Inc. and Intersolutions, LLC.

The incident occurred on April 12, 2024, when Sacci was leaving his apartment at Riverview House Apartments in Lake Worth to visit his doctor. The plaintiff had recently been hospitalized for heart valve issues and other health problems. As he descended the stairs from his third-floor apartment, Sacci slipped on wet paint and fell, sustaining injuries that have permanently affected his quality of life. According to the complaint, there were no signs or barriers indicating that painting was underway on the stairs.

Sacci alleges negligence on the part of both defendants—Richman Property Services Inc., which manages the property where he resides, and Intersolutions, LLC, which was responsible for painting the stairwell. The lawsuit claims that both companies failed to provide adequate warnings about the hazardous condition created by the wet paint. “It was reasonably foreseeable that someone would be injured by slipping on the wet stairs,” states Sacci’s complaint.
