WEST PALM BEACH, FL (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2026) — A West Palm Beach couple has filed a civil lawsuit in Palm Beach County Circuit Court against Sansone, LLC doing business as Sansone Air Conditioning, Plumbing, and Electrical, alleging a leaking air conditioning unit inside their home caused D Dee Paris to slip and fall last year.
The case is styled D Dee Paris and Bruce Michael Paris v. Sansone, LLC d/b/a Sansone Air Conditioning, Plumbing, and Electrical, Case No. 502026CA002595XXXAMB, and was e-filed March 5, 2026, in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County.
According to the complaint, the plaintiffs are Palm Beach County residents and owned a home on Tecumseh Drive in West Palm Beach. The filing says Sansone was doing business in Palm Beach County and that the parties had a service contract covering inspection, service, maintenance, corrective work, and leak prevention for the home’s air conditioning system. The complaint was filed by Goldlaw, P.A., through attorney Dehnolm S. Iafornaro. No defense law firm is listed in the complaint itself. 502026CA002595XXXMB_8
The lawsuit alleges the incident happened on May 6, 2025, when D Dee Paris fell because water had leaked from the air conditioning unit onto the hallway floor inside the home. The complaint claims Sansone negligently failed to properly inspect, manage, service, maintain, repair, and prevent leaks from the system, and also failed to warn of the condition, which the plaintiffs say the company knew or should have known about.
In Count I, the plaintiffs assert a negligence claim. The complaint says Sansone owed D Dee Paris a duty of care in connection with the inspection, operation, maintenance, safety, and leak prevention of the system, and alleges that breach of those duties caused her fall. The filing seeks damages in excess of $50,000, exclusive of attorney’s fees and costs.
The complaint also brings claims for breach of express warranty, breach of implied warranty, strict liability, and loss of consortium. In the express warranty count, the plaintiffs allege Sansone issued a warranty covering workmanship, quality, and fitness for use of the system, and they attached a Carrier limited warranty as Exhibit A. They claim the system and service contract did not conform to Sansone’s representations and allege the company failed to perform work professionally, failed to follow the contract and applicable building codes, failed to use proper construction methods and good construction practices, and failed to maintain the system and overflow switch in proper working order and position.
In the implied warranty and strict liability counts, the plaintiffs allege the air conditioning system was not reasonably fit for its intended residential use and contained defects that were unreasonably dangerous to foreseeable users. The complaint further alleges those claimed defects directly caused the May 6, 2025 incident and the injuries that followed. Bruce Michael Paris separately claims loss of consortium, alleging he has been deprived of his spouse’s services as a result of the alleged injuries.
The plaintiffs allege D Dee Paris suffered bodily injury along with pain and suffering, disability, impairment, disfigurement, mental anguish, medical expenses, loss of earnings, and other damages, some of which the complaint says are permanent or continuing. Those are allegations made by the plaintiffs and have not been proven in court.
