Rebecca Ann Moore has filed a lawsuit against the City of St. Petersburg, alleging negligence that resulted in personal injury. The complaint was submitted by Moore on January 28, 2025, in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit in Pinellas County, Florida, targeting the City of St. Petersburg as the defendant.
The case stems from an incident on February 24, 2024, when Moore tripped and fell on an uneven sidewalk located near 116 4th Avenue North in St. Petersburg. According to the complaint, Moore was lawfully walking as an invitee on the public sidewalk when she encountered this hazardous condition. The lawsuit claims that the City of St. Petersburg failed to maintain its premises safely and neglected to warn or correct known dangers associated with the uneven sidewalk.
Moore's legal representation argues that the city breached its duty by not maintaining a safe environment for pedestrians and failing to address or warn about potential hazards such as uneven sidewalks. The complaint details several alleged failures by the city: not keeping the sidewalk in a reasonably safe condition, neglecting to warn invitees like Moore about existing hazards, and not remedying these issues despite having ample time and knowledge of their existence.
As a result of these alleged oversights by St. Petersburg, Moore asserts she has suffered significant injuries including pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, loss of enjoyment of life, medical expenses, lost earnings potential, and possibly aggravated pre-existing conditions. These injuries are described as permanent or continuing within reasonable medical probability.
Moore is seeking damages exceeding $50,000 exclusive of interest and costs from the court for her injuries along with any other relief deemed appropriate by the court. She also demands a jury trial for all issues related to this case.
Representing Rebecca Ann Moore is attorney Alan Bulnes from Mickey Keenan P.A., based in Tampa, Florida. The case is being heard under Case Number 25-000377-CI at the Circuit Court of Pinellas County.
