In the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit in and for Pinellas County, Florida, Aubrey Patillo has filed a lawsuit against Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc. The case number is 24-001438-CI and was filed on March 29, 2024. The plaintiff alleges negligence on part of the defendant resulting in personal injury.
Patillo's counsel argues that while he was rightfully on the premises of Winn-Dixie Stores located at 2519 McMullen Booth Road, Clearwater, Florida, he slipped and fell due to a water/liquid substance on the floor. This incident occurred on March 29, 2020. Furthermore, it is alleged that the area was wet with paint which made the floor slippery and unfit for pedestrian traffic.
The plaintiff seeks damages in excess of $50,000. He claims that as a result of his fall, he suffered physical injuries and mental anguish, incurred medical expenses, lost capacity for enjoyment of life and sustained permanent injury.
