In the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida, plaintiff Joy Kirhatzi has filed a lawsuit against Home Depot U.S.A., Inc. and John Doe, a manager at the company. The case, identified as 502024CA003270XXXAMB Div: Al, was filed on April 9, 2024. The suit alleges negligence on the part of the defendants leading to personal injury and seeks damages in excess of $50,000.
The incident took place on August 26, 2022, at a property owned by Home Depot located at or near 220 S State Rd 7, West Palm Beach, FL 33414. Kirhatzi claims she was injured after slipping and falling due to unsafe conditions maintained by the defendants.

As a result of the fall caused by alleged negligence from Home Depot and its manager John Doe, Kirhatzi suffered bodily injuries that resulted in pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, mental anguish among other afflictions. These have led to hospitalization expenses, loss of earnings and reduced capacity for enjoyment of life.
