ORLANDO — A woman is suing a pair of Orlando homeowners, claiming she fell on "extremely slippery ceramic tile" on their property.

Sherezade D. Mendez Gonzalez and Jose Manuel Rodriguez filed the complaint on July 25, in the 9th Judicial Circuit Court of Florida - Orange County, against Jorge Florentino and Alexandra Florentino, alleging that they failed to use due care to maintain their premises in a safe condition.

The plaintiffs allege that, on June 5, 2017, Sherezade Gonzalez was injured when she slipped and fell on a wet ceramic tile walkway outside the defendants' home, located at 10826 Laxton Street in Orlando, Florida.

Gonzalez claims she had stopped by the house to pick up an item. She claims to have left the house and was walking toward her vehicle, when she "slipped and fell on the extremely slippery ceramic tile due to water that had accumulated on the outside walkway."

Gonzalez claims that as the result of the homeowners' negligence, she allegedly "suffered permanent bodily injury and resulting pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, mental anguish, loss of capacity for the enjoyment of life, loss of earnings, and aggravation of a previously existing condition, while her husband and co-plaintiff suffered the loss of his wife's companionship, comfort, consortium, society and services."

The plaintiffs hold Jorge Florentino and Alexandra Florentino responsible, because the defendants allegedly failed to take proper precautions to prevent injuries to invitees, and failed to warn invitees of dangerous condition of the property.

The plaintiffs request a trial by jury and seek judgment against the defendant for compensatory damages in excess of $15,000 exclusive of costs and interest together with costs, interest, and any other relief to which the plaintiffs may be entitled. They are represented by Darylaine Hernandez of Law Offfice of Darylaine Hernandez LLC in Orlando.
