In a gripping legal confrontation, a resident of Pinellas County has taken action against two companies, alleging negligence that led to significant personal injuries. Kelly Bamber filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit in Pinellas County, Florida, on January 17, 2025, targeting MISCI LLC and Ally Facility Solutions Inc. The case underscores critical safety obligations owed by businesses to their patrons.
The lawsuit details an incident on December 12, 2023, when Bamber slipped on a liquid substance while using stairs behind a strip mall owned by MISCI LLC and serviced by Ally Facility Solutions Inc. Bamber asserts that her fall was due to negligence on the part of both defendants. She claims that MISCI LLC failed to maintain safe premises by improperly applying paint without slip-resistant additives to the staircase and neglecting necessary warnings about its condition. Similarly, Ally Facility Solutions Inc., responsible for janitorial services at the site, is accused of creating hazardous conditions by allegedly leaving a slippery liquid on the stairs without adequate warning or remediation.
Bamber's complaint outlines specific breaches of duty by MISCI LLC, including failing to ensure the staircase was safe for public use and not providing sufficient warnings about potential dangers. She accuses them of negligent maintenance practices that resulted in an unreasonably dangerous environment. Against Ally Facility Solutions Inc., she alleges failure to perform cleaning duties safely and responsibly, which included not rectifying or warning about the hazardous liquid.
The plaintiff seeks damages exceeding $50,000 from each defendant for her injuries, which include pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, mental anguish, and loss of earnings. Bamber's legal representation is seeking judgment with interest and costs covered and demands a jury trial to resolve these issues.
Representing Kelly Bamber is attorney James A. Catalano from Morgan & Morgan Tampa P.A., while no defense attorneys are listed in the document. The case is identified under Case Number: 25-000228-CI.
