A recent court filing reveals a lawsuit involving a serious injury allegedly caused by negligence at a residential property. Barbara Gelb filed the complaint in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida, on August 1, 2024, against Campbell Property Management and Real Estate, Inc., Regency at Avenir Neighborhood Association, Inc., and Toll Bros., Inc.

The case revolves around an incident that occurred on May 22, 2024. According to the complaint, Gelb was walking her dog on the premises located at 9878 Regency Way in Palm Beach Gardens when she tripped and fell due to a missing portion of the common walkway. The plaintiff asserts that there were no warning or caution signs indicating the hazard. Gelb claims that as a business invitee lawfully on the premises, she was owed a duty of care by the defendants to ensure her safety. She accuses them of failing to maintain the property adequately and allowing dangerous conditions to exist.

Gelb’s complaint outlines multiple allegations against each defendant. She contends that Campbell Property Management and Real Estate, Inc., along with Regency at Avenir Neighborhood Association, Inc., owned, operated, managed, controlled, maintained, and/or possessed the real property where the incident occurred. Toll Bros., Inc. is accused of developing and performing construction work on the premises. The plaintiff argues that all three defendants had non-delegable duties to provide a safe environment and failed in various ways: from not maintaining proper lighting to neglecting necessary inspections.
