The case number is 24-001711-CI and was filed on April 17, 2024. The plaintiff is seeking damages in excess of $50,000 exclusive of interests, costs, and attorney’s fees.
The plaintiff alleges that ICOT Investment 1 LLC negligently installed and maintained an irrigation/water sprinkler system which sprayed water onto a walkway adjacent to their premises.

On April 23, 2020, Paula Boatwright slipped and fell on this walkway due to the water, algae, and other contaminants present. She suffered injuries as a result of this incident. The plaintiff is seeking compensation for her injuries including bodily injury, pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, mental anguish, loss of capacity for enjoyment of life and expenses related to hospitalization, medical care and nursing care.
