ORLANDO - Construction contractor Valencia Construction Group Inc. and construction engineering and inspection firm MEHTA and Associates Inc. were sued in the Orange County Circuit Court by a pizza delivery man who was injured at a construction site in November 2019.
Plaintiff Andrei Cerda was delivering a pizza to the home at 3700 Oakview Dr. in Orlando that the defendants were working on, according to a Feb. 25 lawsuit. Cerda was delivering in the evening, and he says there were no lights on outside of the home, nor were there any reflectors, signs, or other way to indicate that there was a black, knee-high silt fence blocking Cerda's path up to the home.
The plaintiff allegedly tripped on the fence and fell hard onto his right elbow, causing serious injuries.
The defendants are charged with negligence and Cerda seeks at least $30,000 in damages. He is represented by Lawrence H. Hornsby PA of Maitland.
