CLEARWATER — A business customer is suing a St. Petersburg office park, alleging negligence led to injuries to the plaintiff.

William Dixon filed a complaint Dec. 18 in Pinellas County Circuit Court against Carillion Common LLC, alleging the premises controller negligently maintained and cared for the pathways on its property.

According to the complaint, on Jan. 3, 2018, Dixon was at Carillon Office Park in St. Petersburg when she tripped on deteriorated wooden planking, causing him to fall to the ground. The suit says Dixon sustained bodily injuries, resulting in great pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, diminution of earnings and medical-related expenses. 

The plaintiff alleges Carillion Common failed to remedy the dangerous condition or to sufficiently warn its business invitees of such a danger.

Dixon seeks trial by jury, damages that exceed $15,000, exclusive of costs and interest, and all other just relief. He is represented by attorney Matthew S. Carney of Carey Leisure & Neal in Clearwater.

Pinellas County Circuit Court case number 18-8281-CI
