Mildred Segundo has taken legal action against a well-known restaurant chain, claiming negligence led to her injury. On November 12, 2024, Segundo filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit in Pinellas County, Florida, against Bob Evans Restaurants, LLC.
According to the complaint, on April 30, 2023, Segundo was visiting a Bob Evans Restaurant located at 2183 Gulf to Bay Blvd., Clearwater, Florida. As an invitee and customer of the establishment, she tripped over wet rugs left outside the front door. This fall resulted in significant injuries for Segundo. The lawsuit claims that Bob Evans Restaurants was aware or should have been aware of this hazardous condition due to its existence for a considerable period. The plaintiff accuses the defendant of failing to maintain safe premises and neglecting to warn customers about potential dangers.
Segundo's injuries are described as severe and life-altering. She alleges that she suffered bodily harm resulting in pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, loss of enjoyment of life, medical expenses, loss of earning capacity, and potentially permanent injuries. The complaint emphasizes that these damages are either ongoing or permanent and will continue to affect her life adversely.
In her lawsuit, Segundo is seeking damages exceeding $50,000 from Bob Evans Restaurants. She demands compensation for medical costs incurred due to hospitalization and treatment related to her injuries. Additionally, she seeks recompense for any lost wages due to her inability to work following the incident. Segundo also requests a jury trial to resolve all issues presented in her case.
