Kevin Parks has filed a lawsuit against George and Debra Kamajian, accusing them of negligence after suffering a serious injury while working on their property. The complaint was filed in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit in Pinellas County, Florida, on October 11, 2024. Parks claims that both defendants failed to provide safe equipment necessary for his work, leading to his injury.

According to the details of the case, Kevin Parks was hired by George and Debra Kamajian to perform handy work at their residence located at 175 Sand Key Estates Drive in Clearwater, Florida. On February 5, 2023, while installing a ceiling rack in the garage, Parks fell from a ladder that shifted unexpectedly. This fall resulted in severe and permanent injuries to his back. The complaint states that both George and Debra Kamajian had a duty to ensure that safe equipment was provided for Parks' use during his work. However, they allegedly breached this duty by failing to supply suitable tools and implements.

Parks' legal representative, Jonathan I. Rotstein of Rotstein, Shiffman & Broderick LLP, argues that the negligence exhibited by the Kamajians directly led to Parks' injuries. The complaint outlines how these injuries have caused physical pain and suffering for Parks both in the past and expectedly into the future. It also highlights mental anguish and a diminished capacity for enjoyment of life as additional consequences of the incident. Furthermore, Parks has incurred significant medical expenses due to this injury and anticipates further costs related to ongoing treatment.

In seeking justice from the court, Kevin Parks demands compensation exceeding $50,000 from each defendant along with coverage for court costs and a trial by jury. The complaint underscores that these damages are sought due to both past suffering and anticipated future hardships resulting from the defendants' alleged negligence.

The legal proceedings are being overseen by Judge Ken Burke with Jonathan I. Rotstein representing Kevin Parks as his attorney. The case is identified under Case Number: 24-004491-CI.
