Sally Knight has filed a lawsuit alleging negligence against the trustee of a living trust and an individual, claiming that unsafe conditions at a residential property led to her injury. The complaint was filed in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida, on December 27, 2024, naming Cynthia Susan Collins as the defendant.
The case revolves around an incident that occurred on December 19, 2023, when Sally Knight visited a property located at 140 Park Road N, Royal Palm Beach, Florida. According to the complaint, Knight was injured due to "unreasonably slick and unsafe flooring" inside the premises. The plaintiff contends that both Cynthia Susan Collins and the Cynthia Susan Collins Living Trust owned or controlled the property at the time of the incident. Knight argues that Collins had knowledge or should have had knowledge of this hazardous condition but failed to address it or warn visitors adequately.
Knight's lawsuit accuses Collins of breaching her duty to maintain a safe environment for invitees like herself. She alleges that Collins neglected her responsibility to warn guests about hidden dangers on the premises. The complaint highlights that this dangerous condition was either known to Collins or should have been apparent given its persistence over time. As a result of this alleged negligence, Knight claims she suffered severe bodily injuries, mental anguish, and financial losses related to medical expenses and lost earnings.
The plaintiff is seeking damages exceeding $50,000 from both Cynthia Susan Collins individually and as trustee for the living trust. In addition to compensatory damages for her injuries and associated costs, Knight requests interest and any further relief deemed appropriate by the court. She has also demanded a jury trial for all issues triable by law.
