In a gripping legal battle unfolding in Pinellas County, Florida, a resident has taken action against a local business entity over allegations of negligence that resulted in personal injury. On March 14, 2025, Judith Cohen filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of the 6th Judicial Circuit against Clearwater Assets, LLC. The lawsuit accuses the company of failing to maintain safe premises, leading to her slip and fall incident.
The plaintiff, Judith Cohen, claims that on September 14, 2024, she visited the property owned by Clearwater Assets at 1880 N Belcher Rd., Clearwater, FL as a business invitee. During her visit, she allegedly slipped and fell due to a slippery floor condition that was not addressed by the defendant. According to Cohen's complaint, Clearwater Assets neglected their duty by failing to maintain the premises safely and did not warn patrons about potential hazards.
Cohen's legal team argues that Clearwater Assets' negligence directly led to her injuries. They allege several points of failure on the part of the defendant: failing to maintain safe conditions on their property; neglecting to correct known dangers; not warning visitors about hazardous conditions; and allowing such dangerous conditions to persist regularly without intervention. As a result of these alleged oversights, Cohen suffered significant physical and emotional harm including bodily injury, pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of earnings capacity, and medical expenses.
The lawsuit seeks damages exceeding $50,000 but remains uncertain if it surpasses $75,000. Cohen is requesting judgment for damages covering medical costs and other related expenses incurred due to her injuries. Additionally, she demands a jury trial for all issues eligible for such proceedings under law.
Representing Judith Cohen is attorney Tara M. Roberts from Wolfson & Leon law firm based in Miami. The case is presided over by Judge Ken Burke under Case Number 25-001244-CI.
