Woman Sues For Injuries Suffered at Apartment Complex in St. Petersburg

PETERSBURG, FL [November 14, 2024] – Cynthia Boyd has filed a negligence lawsuit against Resource Property Management, Inc. (RPM), doing business as Patriot Square Condominium, and Acoma Roofing Inc. The lawsuit, filed in the Sixth Judicial Circuit Court in and for Pinellas County, Florida, alleges that Ms. Boyd suffered serious injuries due to the negligence of both companies.

On January 13, 2023, Ms. Boyd was walking on property owned by RPM located at 3590 40th Ave. S., St. Petersburg, FL 33711, when she slipped and fell on a blue tarp placed in a high-traffic pedestrian area placed by Acoma Roofing. The lawsuit claims that the tarp created hazardous conditions, and that both RPM and Acoma failed to exercise reasonable care to prevent the accident. Ms. Boyd sustained a fractured right foot and other injuries resulting in significant pain, lost income, and medical expenses.

The complaint alleges negligence against both RPM for failing to maintain a safe environment and adequately warning its residents of hazards, and Acoma for creating the hazard in the first place. The lawsuit seeks damages in excess of $50,000 to compensate Ms. Boyd for her injuries and losses.

“This is a serious case highlighting the need for apartment complexes to prioritize the safety of their tenants and maintain their properties to prevent foreseeable accidents,” stated Gil Sanchez, Esq., counsel for Ms. Boyd. “Our firm intends to vigorously pursue justice for Ms. Boyd and ensure that the owners of Patriot Square and Acoma Roofing are held accountable for its negligence.”
