Carla L. McAnally has filed a lawsuit against the operators of her apartment complex, alleging negligence after a slip and fall incident left her with serious injuries. The complaint was filed on February 10, 2025, in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit in Pinellas County, Florida, naming CBPF L.L.C., doing business as The Courtney Bay Pines Apartments, and ICAFS Inc., doing business as General Services Corporation, as defendants.
According to the complaint, McAnally was residing at The Courtney Bay Pines Apartments when she experienced a slip and fall on November 26, 2023. The incident occurred when she encountered a slippery and wet painted walking surface within the breezeway of the apartment complex while taking her dog for a walk. This hazardous condition allegedly caused her to fall unexpectedly, resulting in severe and permanent injuries. McAnally claims that this dangerous condition was not marked or warned against by any signs or barriers and was not apparent to residents like herself.
The lawsuit contends that both defendants had a duty to maintain the property safely for invitees such as McAnally. It accuses CBPF L.L.C., which owns and operates The Courtney Bay Pines Apartments, of failing to uphold its responsibility to ensure safe conditions on its premises. Similarly, ICAFS Inc., hired for maintenance services at the complex, is accused of neglecting its duty to address or warn about hazardous conditions like the slippery walkway.
McAnally's complaint details various damages she suffered due to the incident. These include bodily injury, physical pain and suffering, disability affecting her quality of life, inconvenience, mental anguish, loss of earnings capacity, and medical expenses incurred from treating her injuries. She argues that these damages are directly attributable to the negligence of both defendants in maintaining safe conditions at the apartment complex.
In seeking justice through this legal action, McAnally demands a jury trial and seeks judgment against each defendant for an amount exceeding $50,000 plus costs. She requests compensation for past and future damages resulting from their alleged negligence.
Representing Carla L. McAnally in this case are attorneys Thomas D. Roebig Jr., Taylor D. Roebig, John J. Hart, and Sarah K. Bartlett from Florin Roebig P.A., based in Palm Harbor, Florida. The case is presided over by Judge Ken Burke under Case Number 25-00061 1-CI.
