A recent court filing has brought to light a personal injury lawsuit involving a slip and fall incident at a commercial property. The complaint, filed by Floreine Jones in the Court of Common Pleas of Delaware County, Pennsylvania, on March 6, 2025, names several defendants including 69th Street Retail Owner L.P., Jones Lang LaSalle of Pennsylvania, Inc., and others. The lawsuit accuses these entities of negligence leading to an unsafe condition on their premises.
The plaintiff, Floreine Jones, alleges that on November 8, 2023, she suffered severe injuries after tripping over an uneven sidewalk at the premises located near 6869 Chestnut Street in Philadelphia. According to the complaint, the defendants were responsible for maintaining the safety and condition of the premises but failed to do so adequately. Jones asserts that this negligence resulted in her suffering "severe and permanent bodily injury," impacting her back, left hip, and knee among other areas. The complaint further states that these injuries have caused significant pain and suffering as well as financial losses due to medical expenses and potential loss of earnings.
Jones's legal action highlights several alleged failures by the defendants: inadequate design and maintenance of walkways; failure to inspect or repair known hazards; lack of proper warnings about dangerous conditions; and non-compliance with building codes. Each count against the various defendants outlines similar accusations of negligence contributing to hazardous conditions on their property. For instance, Count I against 69th Street Retail Owner L.P. includes allegations such as failing to properly monitor or clean the premises and disregarding known dangers that posed risks to visitors.
In seeking relief from the court, Jones demands judgment not exceeding $50,000 from each defendant named in her suit. She requests compensation for her injuries along with any additional costs deemed necessary by the court. Her attorney Marc F. Greenfield from Spear, Greenfield, Richman, Weitz & Taggart P.C., based in Philadelphia, represents her interests in this matter.
The case is being handled under arbitration limits as indicated in the civil cover sheet accompanying the complaint. The document specifies that an assessment of damages hearing is required as part of the proceedings. As this legal battle unfolds within Delaware County's judicial system under Case ID CV2025001986.
