Mark Heine has filed a lawsuit against a St. Petersburg-based motel, alleging negligence after sustaining injuries on the premises. The complaint was lodged by Mark Heine in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit in Pinellas County, Florida, on February 7, 2025, targeting DI ST PETERSBURG LLC, operating as Super 8 by Wyndham St. Petersburg.

The incident that prompted this legal action occurred on November 17, 2024. On that day, Heine was present at the Super 8 by Wyndham St. Petersburg as an invitee with the knowledge and consent of DI ST PETERSBURG LLC. According to the complaint, Heine suffered injuries due to a foreign substance left negligently on the floor of the motel’s restaurant area. The lawsuit accuses DI ST PETERSBURG LLC of failing to maintain a safe environment for its patrons and neglecting to warn them about potential hazards.

Heine’s complaint outlines several specific allegations against DI ST PETERSBURG LLC. It claims that the company had either actual or constructive knowledge of the dangerous condition but failed to take appropriate measures to address it. Among other accusations, it alleges that DI ST PETERSBURG allowed hazardous conditions to persist by not removing foreign substances from the floor and not providing adequate warnings or non-skid surfaces for safety.
