BOYNTON BEACH, FL — The Boynton Beach grocery store known as KC Market is facing a civil negligence lawsuit in Palm Beach County Circuit Court after a customer alleged he tripped over a crumpled floor mat in the store's vestibule and fractured his shoulder, according to a newly filed complaint.
The lawsuit was filed June 22, 2026, by Myron Iteld and his wife Marsha Iteld, both Palm Beach County residents. The defendant is KC Boynton, LLC, identified in the filing as the Florida limited liability company that owned, possessed, controlled, maintained or operated the store at 3775 Woolbright Road in Boynton Beach.
The case is captioned Iteld v. KC Boynton, LLC, Case No. 502026CA006982XXXAMB, and is assigned to Division AE in the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit. The plaintiffs are represented by attorney Dane R. Ullian of Ullian Trial Law, P.A., based in Vero Beach.
According to the complaint, Myron Iteld was shopping as an invitee and customer at KC Market on or about September 19, 2025. The filing says it had rained earlier that day, and that a mat had been placed in the vestibule between the exterior doors and the interior door leading to the main shopping area.
The complaint states that before entering the store, Iteld observed a KC Market branded delivery truck parked at the curb of the public entrance, unloading movable racks of baked goods. He wiped his sneakers on the mat and then proceeded through the vestibule toward the interior door, the lawsuit says.
As he walked through the vestibule, Iteld tripped and fell to the ground, landing on his left arm and shoulder, the complaint alleges. The filing claims he suffered serious injuries, including a left proximal humerus fracture.
While on the ground, Iteld observed an empty movable rack standing unattended in the vestibule next to a crumpled area of the mat, according to the complaint. Upon information and belief, the lawsuit alleges, he tripped over the crumpled area of the mat.
The complaint also alleges that KC Boynton, LLC is in possession of video depicting the fall and that, despite request, the company has declined to produce the video.
The lawsuit alleges the mat was placed in an area or manner that rendered it unreasonably dangerous, and that it was crumpled due to unsafe loading, unloading or stocking activity at the front, public entrance during business hours.
Count I, brought by Myron Iteld, alleges negligence and premises liability. The complaint claims KC Boynton, LLC breached a duty to maintain the store in a reasonably safe condition, failed to inspect or correct the alleged dangerous condition, and failed to warn customers about it.
Count II is a derivative loss-of-consortium claim brought by Marsha Iteld as the lawful spouse of Myron Iteld, seeking damages for the loss of his services, comfort, society, companionship and attention.
Each count seeks damages in excess of $50,000, along with interest from the date of injury, costs and expert witness fees. The plaintiffs have demanded a trial by jury.
The complaint notes that, although Florida civil cover sheets require plaintiffs to select an estimated damages range for clerical purposes, the actual amount of damages would be decided by a jury.
