Ethan Saez-Moreno has filed a lawsuit against a major convenience store chain, alleging negligence that led to severe injuries. The complaint was filed on December 16, 2024, in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida, naming Amer Group Corporation, doing business as 7-11, as the defendant.
According to the complaint, Ethan Saez-Moreno was visiting a 7-11 store located at 16000 S. Military Trail in Delray Beach on February 29, 2024. During his visit as a business invitee, he slipped and fell due to liquid on the floor. Saez-Moreno claims that this incident resulted from negligence on the part of 7-11 and its employees. The lawsuit accuses the corporation of failing to maintain a safe environment for its customers by allowing hazardous conditions such as liquid spills to persist without proper warning or cleanup measures.
The plaintiff outlines several ways in which he believes 7-11 breached its duty of care. These include failing to keep the premises' floor safe by allowing liquid spills to create slipping hazards and not providing adequate warnings about these dangers. Furthermore, Saez-Moreno asserts that there was a lack of timely inspections and necessary safety precautions like wet floor signs or barricades to alert customers about potential risks. He also alleges that employees might have contributed to the hazard by leaving floors wet after cleaning.
Saez-Moreno argues that these negligent actions were known or should have been known by 7-11 due to their frequency and duration. He contends that this oversight directly caused his slip-and-fall accident, leading to significant physical injuries and emotional distress. As a result of these injuries, he has incurred medical expenses and anticipates ongoing suffering and financial burdens.
In seeking justice through this legal action, Ethan Saez-Moreno demands compensation exceeding $75,000 for damages related to his injuries and associated costs. He is requesting a jury trial to address all issues presented in his complaint against Amer Group Corporation d/b/a 7-11.
Representing Ethan Saez-Moreno is attorney R. Timothy Vannatta from Rubenstein Law P.A., based in West Palm Beach, Florida. The case ID is: 502024CA011903XXXAMB.
