Condominium Association accused of Negligence by Injured Resident
Amelia Hernandez has filed a lawsuit against a condominium association for negligence, seeking damages exceeding $50,000. The complaint was filed on November 27, 2024, in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida, against Number 2 Condominium Association — Village Green, Inc.
The case revolves around an incident that occurred on October 25, 2022. Amelia Hernandez claims she was injured due to a fall caused by an improperly constructed or maintained raised door stop at the property managed by Number 2 Condominium Association — Village Green, Inc., located at 700 Village Green Court in West Palm Beach. As an invitee on the premises, Hernandez argues that the defendant had a legal duty to ensure the safety of individuals like her who were foreseeable visitors to the property. The complaint alleges that this duty was breached when Hernandez tripped and fell due to a dangerous condition created by a defect in the door stop.
Hernandez’s complaint outlines several specific accusations against the condominium association. It accuses them of creating an unreasonably dangerous condition with the defective door stop and failing to conduct reasonable inspections of their premises to identify such hazards. Furthermore, it claims that they did not adequately warn Hernandez about this danger through signs or other means despite being aware or expected to be aware of its existence. These failures allegedly led directly to Hernandez suffering serious bodily injuries.
