In a gripping legal confrontation, a Florida resident has taken legal action against a prominent local business, alleging negligence that led to personal injury. Richard Ficarelli filed the complaint in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida, on April 18, 2025, targeting Boca Owner, LLC, doing business as The Boca Raton.
The lawsuit stems from an incident on September 13, 2023, when Ficarelli was reportedly injured after tripping over a defect in a walkway at The Boca Raton's premises located at 501 E Camino Real. According to the complaint, Ficarelli was a business invitee on the property when he encountered a hazardous condition that caused him to fall and sustain significant injuries. The plaintiff accuses Boca Owner, LLC of failing to maintain the premises safely for its patrons and alleges several counts of negligence. These include inadequate maintenance and inspection of the premises, failure to warn about existing dangers, insufficient staffing for safety inspections, and neglecting corporate policies regarding safety.
Ficarelli claims that as a direct result of these alleged oversights by Boca Owner, LLC, he suffered various physical injuries resulting in pain and suffering. He further states that these injuries have led to disability and disfigurement and will continue to affect his quality of life and earning capacity. In his filing, Ficarelli seeks damages exceeding $50,000 exclusive of costs and interest—a figure he believes will be justly determined by a jury trial as per Article 1, Section 21 of the Florida Constitution.
Represented by attorney Christian M. Ficarelli from Ficarelli Law PLLC based in Orlando, Richard Ficarelli is pursuing judgment for damages along with interests and costs from Boca Owner LLC. The Case ID is: 502025CA003733XXXAMB Div: AH.
