Plaintiff alleges negligence against Florida-based corporation after injury
A lawsuit has been filed against a Florida-based corporation, alleging negligence that resulted in personal injury. Melissa Trombley, the plaintiff, initiated legal proceedings on January 13, 2025, in the Circuit Court of the 6th Judicial Circuit in Pinellas County, Florida, against Oyster Shucker, Inc.
The complaint details an incident that occurred on May 9, 2024. On this date, Trombley visited the premises of Oyster Shucker, Inc., located at or near 650 Corey Ave in Pinellas County as a business invitee. During her visit, she tripped and fell over a parking block on the property. The lawsuit claims that this accident was due to negligent maintenance by the defendant. Trombley asserts that Oyster Shucker failed to keep its grounds safe for patrons and neglected to address or warn about hazardous conditions they either knew or should have known existed.
The lawsuit outlines several allegations of negligence against Oyster Shucker. It accuses the company of failing to maintain safe premises and not correcting dangerous conditions despite having reasonable knowledge of their existence. Furthermore, it alleges that Oyster Shucker did not provide adequate warnings about these hazards to visitors like Trombley who were unaware of such risks. As a result of these alleged failures, Trombley suffered significant injuries including bodily harm, pain and suffering, mental anguish, and financial losses due to medical expenses and loss of earnings.
