Carmen Agostini has filed a lawsuit against TRG Seaside, L.P., doing business as Aura Seaside Apartments, alleging negligence that led to her injury. The complaint was lodged in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida, on February 14, 2025. Agostini claims that she suffered injuries due to poorly maintained stairs at the defendant's property.
According to the complaint, Carmen Agostini was an invitee at the Aura Seaside Apartments located at 1404 S. Dixie Hwy, Lantana, FL when she tripped and fell over stairs leading to the parking lot on November 1, 2023. The lawsuit accuses TRG Seaside of several acts of negligence including failing to maintain safe premises and not correcting or warning about dangerous conditions they knew or should have known existed. The plaintiff argues that these conditions were foreseeable and regular occurrences that should have been addressed by the apartment management.
Agostini's legal representation highlights specific allegations such as TRG Seaside's failure to train employees adequately in identifying and remedying hazardous conditions. Furthermore, it is alleged that the defendant violated applicable building codes and ordinances in maintaining their premises. The complaint states that these oversights directly resulted in Agostini suffering bodily injury, pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of earnings capacity, and other damages which are either permanent or ongoing.
The plaintiff seeks a judgment for damages exceeding $50,000 exclusive of costs and attorney fees from TRG Seaside. She also demands a jury trial for her case. This legal action aims not only for compensation but also serves as a call for accountability regarding safety standards at public accommodations like Aura Seaside Apartments.
Representing Carmen Agostini is attorney Matthew E. Haynes from Lytal, Reiter, Smith, Ivey & Fronrath based in West Palm Beach. The Case ID is: 502025CA001329XXXAMB.
