CLEARWATER — A Pinellas
County woman is suing a Largo condominium
complex owner, alleging negligence and
premises liability.
Diane Gallagher filed a complaint Feb. 11 in
Pinellas County Circuit Court against
Maidstone Condominium Association Inc.,
alleging failure to exercise reasonable care
for the safety of its invitees.
According to the complaint, on Nov. 27,
2017, Gallagher was a business invitee on
the Maidstone Condominium complex in Largo
when she was injured due to a dangerous
staircase that lacked handrails, had
non-uniform tread depths and riser heights,
and no guards. She said she sustained bodily
injuries, resulting in pain and suffering,
impairment, disability, inconvenience,
disfigurement and the expense of
hospitalization, medical and nursing care
and treatment.
The plaintiff alleges Maidstone Condominium
Association failed to maintain the premises
in a reasonably safe condition and failed to
provide adequate warning of the dangerous
conditions that it knew about or should have
known.
Gallagher seeks trial by jury, damages that
exceed $15,000, exclusive of court costs and
attorney fees. She is represented by
attorney Zachary Leacox of Rubenstein Law PA
in Miami.
