DELRAY BEACH — A homeowner in the West Delray Beach community of Seven
Bridges is suing the community after he says he tripped at the gated
community’s swimming pool and sustained significant injuries that affected
him and his relationship with his wife. Peter Treadway and his wife, Yung
Fai Ko, filed the joint complaint in Palm Beach County Circuit Court against
Seven Bridges Homeowners Association and Campbell Property Management. G.L.
Homes, which constructed the community, was not named as a defendant.

According to the lawsuit, the incident
occurred on the afternoon of January 27, 2024, at the Seven
Bridges community pool located at 16701 Cabernet Drive.
Treadway, who says he visited the pool daily for aquatic
exercises, was walking toward a chair to set down his
belongings when he allegedly tripped on an uneven paver on
the pool deck. The fall resulted in what the complaint
describes as significant and permanent personal injuries.
The couple’s legal team argues that both the homeowners
association and the property management company failed in
their duty to keep the premises in a reasonably safe
condition for residents. The suit alleges that the hazardous
condition of the pavers had existed long enough that the
defendants should have been aware of the danger and either
repaired it or provided adequate warning to the community
members using the facilities.
As a result of the fall, Treadway claims he has suffered
physical pain, mental anguish, and a loss of earning
capacity, while also incurring substantial medical expenses
that are expected to continue. Additionally, the lawsuit
includes a consortium claim for his wife, Yung Fai Ko,
alleging that she has been deprived of her husband’s
companionship and support due to the severity of his
injuries.
