Hector Lopez has filed a lawsuit against Pinellas County in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit, Florida, under case number 24-001739-CI on April 18, 2024. The plaintiff alleges that due to the negligence of the defendant, he sustained bodily injuries on their premises and is seeking damages exceeding $50,000.
The incident took place on June 5, 2022, when Lopez visited the defendant's business premises as an invitee. During his visit, he unexpectedly fell and suffered bodily harm. The court filing does not specify the nature of these injuries or provide further details about the fall.
Lopez claims that Pinellas County failed to maintain its premises adequately, creating a hazardous environment for its visitors. He alleges that the county was negligent in inspecting and maintaining its premises, failing to warn him about potential dangers and not taking appropriate measures to correct unsafe conditions.
In his lawsuit, Lopez seeks judgment for damages that exceed $50,000. He argues that this sum is exclusive of costs, interest, and attorney's fees. The actual value of his claim will be determined by a jury in accordance with Article 1, Section 21 of the Florida Constitution.
