A routine visit to a property in St. Petersburg, Florida, turned into a nightmare for one individual, leading to severe injuries and a legal battle. Dean Myers has filed a complaint against Jeanette Stair in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit of Florida on March 10, 2025. The lawsuit alleges negligence on the part of Stair that resulted in Myers' injury.
According to the complaint, Dean Myers was at Jeanette Stair's property located at 6218 Palma Del Mar Blvd. S., Apt 205, St. Petersburg, FL, on November 8, 2024. Myers was there as a customer and business invitee to obtain a bed mattress when an unfortunate accident occurred. The complaint details that while dismantling a murphy bed offered by Stair, the foundation fell onto Myers' back after being unscrewed by Stair herself. This incident caused Myers to lose consciousness and necessitated immediate medical attention.
The legal filing accuses Jeanette Stair of negligence and premises liability. It claims that she failed in her duty to maintain her property safely for visitors like Myers. Specifically, it states that Stair did not properly manage or inspect the murphy bed and neglected to warn Myers about its potential danger. As per the document, "Defendant knew or should have known in the exercise of ordinary care that said warning was necessary to prevent injury." Furthermore, it argues that her actions were careless and negligent by allowing such hazardous conditions to exist.
Dean Myers is seeking damages exceeding $50,000 for bodily injury, physical pain and suffering, disability, mental anguish, and related medical expenses incurred due to this incident. The plaintiff demands judgment against Jeanette Stair for these damages along with costs and interests as deemed appropriate by the court.
Representing Dean Myers is attorney Jeremy S. Clark from Clark Hartpence Law based in St. Petersburg, Florida. The case is identified under Case Number: 25-001172-CI and will be heard before the Circuit Court of Pinellas County.
