Bruce Smith has taken legal action against a well-known hotel chain, alleging negligence that led to personal injury. On January 24, 2025, Bruce Smith filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida, against Hilton Hotel Employer, LLC, doing business as Hilton Boca Raton Suites.
The lawsuit stems from an incident on December 28, 2023, when Smith was a guest at the Hilton Boca Raton Suites. According to the complaint, Smith was injured due to an uneven and hazardous surface at the hotel's entranceway. The plaintiff claims that Hilton had a duty to maintain its premises in a safe condition but failed to do so. "Defendant Hilton negligently maintained the premises by maintaining a dangerous and uneven surface," reads the complaint. The lawsuit further alleges that this hazardous condition was not apparent to guests like Smith and that Hilton did not provide adequate warning about it.
Smith's complaint outlines several points of negligence on the part of Hilton. It asserts that Hilton knew or should have known about the dangerous conditions but did nothing to rectify them or warn guests. As a result of this negligence, Smith suffered significant injuries including bodily harm, aggravation of pre-existing conditions, and mental anguish. The lawsuit states these injuries have led to ongoing medical expenses and loss of earning capacity for Smith.
The plaintiff is seeking damages exceeding $50,000 for his injuries and associated losses. In addition to financial compensation for medical expenses and lost earnings, Smith is also asking for any other relief deemed appropriate by the court. The case emphasizes that these losses are either permanent or will continue into the future.
Representing Bruce Smith is attorney Jeffrey A. Rosenberg from the Law Offices of Jeffrey A. Rosenberg PLLC based in Boca Raton, Florida. The case is filed under Case Number 502025CA000666XXXAMB.
