In the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit in Pinellas County, Florida, plaintiff Kevin James Umbaugh has filed a lawsuit against defendants Margaret Barbara Sim and Karen Sue Helsinger. The case number is 24-000985-ClI and was filed on March 1, 2024.

Represented by attorney Alexander Billias from Morgan & Morgan Tampa P.A., Umbaugh alleges that on August 1, 2023, he was riding his bicycle when he was hit by a 2021 Mazda CX30 motor vehicle operated by Sim and owned by Helsinger. The accident resulted in bodily injury and pain for Umbaugh, leading to hospitalization, medical care costs, loss of earnings, and ongoing suffering.

Umbaugh is seeking damages exceeding $50,000 from both defendants. He accuses Sim of negligence in operating the vehicle and holds Helsinger vicariously liable under Florida's dangerous instrumentality doctrine due to her ownership of the vehicle involved in the incident.
