Kathleen Bailey has taken legal action against a condominium association after suffering significant injuries due to an alleged unsafe condition on their property. The complaint was filed by Bailey in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit in Pinellas County, Florida, on February 21, 2025, naming Vantage Point Condominium Owners’ Association, Inc. as the defendant.
According to the complaint, Kathleen Bailey visited the premises of Vantage Point Condominium located at 10200 Gandy Boulevard North, St. Petersburg, Florida, on December 1, 2023. As a lawful guest and business invitee, she claims that Vantage Point had a nondelegable duty to ensure her safety while on their property. However, Bailey alleges that the condominium association failed in this duty by not maintaining a safe environment for visitors.
The crux of Bailey's lawsuit centers around an incident where she fell due to a loose handrail that was not properly secured to the wall. The complaint accuses Vantage Point of several negligent actions including failing to maintain or adequately inspect the stair railing which created an unreasonably dangerous condition for guests like Bailey. It is further alleged that Vantage Point either knew or should have known about this hazardous condition but did not take appropriate measures to correct it.
As a result of this negligence, Bailey asserts she suffered from severe bodily injuries leading to pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, permanent scarring, mental anguish, and other losses such as medical expenses and loss of earnings. These damages are claimed to be either permanent or ongoing with potential future implications.
Bailey is seeking damages exceeding $50,000 exclusive of costs and interest from Vantage Point Condominium Owners’ Association. She demands a jury trial for all issues triable by jury as part of her pursuit for justice and compensation for her injuries.
Representing Kathleen Bailey is attorney Patrick Maloney from Morgan & Morgan Tampa P.A., while no specific defense attorneys were named in the filing. The case has been assigned Case Number: 25-000822-CI under Judge Ken Burke's jurisdiction in Pinellas County Circuit Court.
