In a gripping legal battle unfolding in Palm Beach County, Florida, a plaintiff has filed a lawsuit against a popular local establishment and one of its employees, alleging negligence that led to serious personal injuries. On March 27, 2025, Anthony Horner lodged a complaint in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit against Tin Roof Delray Beach, LLC, and Jennings Taylor. The case sheds light on an incident that occurred on October 29, 2021, at the Tin Roof Delray Beach venue.
The plaintiff, Anthony Horner, claims that while he was a guest at Tin Roof Delray Beach—a bar and live music venue—he suffered significant injuries due to negligent actions by the defendants. According to the complaint, after being asked to leave the premises, Horner was pursued outside by Jennings Taylor, an employee of Tin Roof Delray Beach. The pursuit allegedly resulted in Taylor battering Horner behind the establishment's property lines. Horner accuses both the company and Taylor of failing to maintain a safe environment for guests and not adhering to proper security protocols.
Horner's lawsuit outlines several accusations against Tin Roof Delray Beach and its employee. The plaintiff argues that the company failed in multiple aspects: hiring competent staff with appropriate training and temperament; ensuring adequate supervision and safety measures; adhering to relevant rules and regulations; and implementing effective security procedures. Additionally, Horner alleges that Jennings Taylor breached his duty of care by not providing adequate supervision or following safety protocols during the incident.
The legal action seeks damages exceeding $50,000 for various forms of harm suffered by Horner. These include physical pain and suffering, mental anguish, disfigurement, loss of enjoyment of life, medical expenses for hospitalization and treatment, as well as lost wages due to inability to work. The complaint emphasizes that these damages are both permanent and ongoing.
