In the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida, plaintiff Gerald Montesorrentino has filed a lawsuit against The Haven Detox, LLC. The case (ID: 502024CA002418XXXAMB Div: AN) was filed on March 14, 2024. Montesorrentino is seeking damages exceeding $50,000 for injuries sustained at the defendant's rehabilitation facility.
The incident occurred on October 12, 2022, when Montesorrentino was a guest at The Haven Detox facility located at 1325 Haverhill Road, West Palm Beach. According to the complaint, he sat on a couch that collapsed due to disrepair causing him to fall and sustain injuries.
Montesorrentino's lawyer from Goldman & Daszkal, P.A., Alexander R.

This negligence led to Montesorrentino suffering serious bodily injuries resulting in pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, mental anguish among other losses.
Montesorrentino is demanding judgment against The Haven Detox for damages exceeding $50,000 plus pre-judgment interest where applicable. He also demands a trial by jury on all issues so triable as a matter of right by a jury.
