A slip-and-fall incident at a Clearwater gas station has led to a lawsuit that raises questions about safety standards and accountability. Rebecca Rose filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of the 6th Judicial Circuit in Pinellas County, Florida, on March 9, 2025, against White Cloud Twenty One, LLC. The case revolves around an alleged gasoline spill that resulted in Rose's injury.
According to the complaint, Rebecca Rose was visiting a Shell gas station operated by White Cloud Twenty One, LLC on October 5, 2024. The plaintiff claims she was there as a business invitee when she encountered a hazardous condition—a gasoline spill caused by a leak in the pump hose—leading to her fall and subsequent injuries. "The Defendant owed the general public and Plaintiff...the duty of keeping its premises in a reasonably safe condition," reads the filing. It further accuses White Cloud Twenty One of failing to uphold this duty by allowing such dangerous conditions to exist without adequate warning or rectification.
Rose alleges that the defendant either knew or should have known about the gasoline spill but neglected to take appropriate action to warn patrons or rectify the situation promptly. This negligence allegedly resulted in Rose suffering significant physical injuries and emotional distress. She cites ongoing medical expenses, wage loss, permanent disability, and disfigurement as consequences of her fall. "These injuries are either permanent or continuing in nature," asserts Rose's legal team.
In seeking justice through this lawsuit, Rebecca Rose demands damages exceeding $50,000 from White Cloud Twenty One for their purported negligence. Her legal counsel is pursuing not only financial compensation for medical costs and lost wages but also seeks acknowledgment of the lasting impact these injuries have had on her life. Additionally, she requests a jury trial to resolve all issues presented in this case.
Representing Rebecca Rose is Chalik and Chalik P.A., with Debi F. Chalik serving as her attorney. The case has been assigned Case Number 25-001129-CI and will be presided over by judges within the jurisdiction of Pinellas County's 6th Judicial Circuit Court.
