A Florida resident has filed a lawsuit against a property management company, alleging negligence after sustaining injuries from a slip and fall incident. The complaint was filed by Tristana Chambless in the Circuit Court of the 6th Judicial Circuit in Pinellas County, Florida, on July 3, 2024, against REM Properties VI, LLC.

According to the court documents, Chambless claims that on May 18, 2023, she visited a property managed by REM Properties VI, LLC as a business invitee. During her visit, she slipped and fell on a wet floor due to what she alleges were “negligent actions” by the defendant. Chambless accuses REM Properties of failing to maintain the premises in a safe condition and not addressing or warning about the hazardous condition that led to her injury.

The complaint outlines several specific allegations of negligence: failure to maintain safe grounds, failure to correct known dangerous conditions, and failure to warn patrons of potential hazards. “Defendant created a dangerous condition…a hazard to patrons who were ambulating on said premises,” states one part of the complaint. Furthermore, it asserts that such conditions occurred with regularity sufficient for REM Properties to have been aware of their existence.
