A recent court filing in Palm Beach County, Florida, alleges that a major retail chain and a property management company failed to maintain safe premises, resulting in serious injury to a customer. Donna Feldman filed the complaint against Walgreen Co. and OMC Properties, LLC on July 1, 2024.
According to the lawsuit, Feldman was injured on January 19, 2024, when she tripped and fell on uneven ground and a sewer cover in the parking lot of a Walgreens store located at 16458 Linton Blvd., Delray Beach. The plaintiff claims that both Walgreens and OMC Properties were responsible for maintaining the premises in a safe condition but failed to do so. "At all times material hereto," the complaint states, "Defendant Walgreens owned, operated, managed, controlled maintained and/or possessed" the commercial property where the incident occurred. Similarly, it asserts that OMC Properties had similar responsibilities over the same location.
Feldman accuses both defendants of negligence for not addressing hazardous conditions on their property. The complaint outlines several specific failures: negligently creating or allowing hazardous conditions to exist; failing to maintain or adequately inspect the premises; not correcting dangerous conditions; and failing to warn of such dangers. As a result of these alleged lapses, Feldman suffered permanent bodily injuries including pain and suffering of both physical and mental nature, disability, physical impairment, disfigurement, mental anguish, inconvenience, loss of capacity for enjoyment of life as well as expenses related to hospitalization and medical care.
The plaintiff is seeking damages exceeding $50,000 from each defendant. She argues that these losses are either permanent or continuing and will affect her future quality of life. Feldman's legal team is demanding a jury trial for all triable issues.
