In a gripping legal battle that highlights the dangers of negligence, a Broward County resident has taken legal action against a Florida-based company following an alleged slip and fall incident. On February 14, 2025, Lawanda Hill filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida, accusing Good Way Oil 541, LLC of negligence.
The case centers around an incident that occurred on September 9, 2023. According to the complaint, Hill visited the premises owned and operated by Good Way Oil at 2801 W Sunrise Blvd in Palm Beach County as a business invitee. During her visit, she allegedly slipped and fell due to hazardous conditions on the property. Hill claims that Good Way Oil's negligent maintenance of the premises directly led to her injuries. The complaint outlines several allegations against Good Way Oil. It accuses the company of failing to maintain safe conditions on its property, neglecting to correct known hazards, and not warning patrons about potential dangers. Specifically, Hill asserts that these oversights created a dangerous environment for visitors like herself.
Hill's complaint details the severe consequences she suffered as a result of the fall. She reports experiencing bodily injury accompanied by pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, mental anguish, and exacerbation of pre-existing conditions. Additionally, she claims significant financial losses due to medical expenses and lost earnings both past and future.
In seeking justice from the court, Hill demands judgment for damages exceeding $50,000 but remains uncertain if it surpasses $75,000. She also requests coverage for legal costs incurred during this process along with any other equitable relief deemed appropriate by the court.
Representing Lawanda Hill is attorney Tara M. Roberts from Wolfson & Leon law firm based in Miami. The Case ID is: 502025CA001331XXXAMB Div: AD.
