Amie Yeargin has filed a premises liability complaint against Ferg’s Sports Bar & Grill, Inc., alleging negligence that led to her sustaining serious injuries. The complaint was filed in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit in and for Pinellas County, Florida, on May 30, 2024.
According to the court documents, Amie Yeargin, a resident of Orange County, Florida, visited Ferg’s Sports Bar & Grill located at 1320 Central Avenue, St. Petersburg, Florida on April 26, 2023. While on the premises as a patron and business invitee, she tripped over a rug and sustained significant personal injuries.

The complaint outlines that Ferg’s Sports Bar & Grill had a non-delegable duty to maintain its premises in a reasonably safe condition for its invitees. The plaintiff asserts that the defendant either had actual knowledge or should have had constructive knowledge of the tripping hazard due to its existence for an extended period or because it occurred with regularity. The complaint states: “Defendant owed Plaintiff duties to maintain the premises in a reasonably safe condition and to warn Plaintiff of dangerous conditions on their premises.”
