BOCA RATON, FL — A Boca Raton country club and a court-surface company are facing a civil lawsuit in Palm Beach County Circuit Court after a New Jersey man alleged he slipped and fell on a painted logo while playing pickleball at Boca Woods Country Club.
The complaint, filed June 16, 2026, is captioned Michael Bryzek v. Boca Woods Country Club Association, Inc. and Fast-Dry Courts, LLC, Case No. 502026CA006680XXXAMB. The case was filed in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida, Division AE.
Bryzek is represented by Brotman Nusbaum Ibrahim & Adelman of Boca Raton, with attorney Jeffrey A. Adelman listed on the filing. The complaint identifies Bryzek as a resident of Glen Rock, New Jersey.
According to the complaint, the incident happened Jan. 19, 2025, at Boca Woods Country Club, located at 10450 Boca Woods Lane in Boca Raton. The lawsuit alleges Bryzek was lawfully on the property as an invitee and was playing pickleball when he slipped and fell on a painted logo on the court.
The complaint names Boca Woods Country Club Association, Inc. as a Florida not-for-profit corporation doing business in Palm Beach County. It also names Fast-Dry Courts, LLC as a Florida limited liability company doing business in Palm Beach County, including at the Boca Woods location.
The lawsuit brings a negligence claim against Boca Woods Country Club Association. According to the complaint, Boca Woods had a duty to maintain the premises in a reasonably safe condition and to warn about hidden or dangerous conditions.
The complaint alleges Boca Woods breached that duty by allowing the painted logo on the pickleball court to exist in what the lawsuit describes as a dangerous, excessively slippery and hazardous condition. The filing further claims Boca Woods knew, or should have known through reasonable care, about the alleged condition because the logo was visibly slick or defective.
A second negligence claim is brought against Fast-Dry Courts. The complaint alleges Fast-Dry was hired to design, paint, or apply a logo on the pickleball courts at the property.
According to the lawsuit, Fast-Dry owed a duty of reasonable care to foreseeable users of the pickleball courts, including Bryzek, to use appropriate slip-resistant paint, coatings and additives. The complaint claims the company failed to ensure the logo application did not create a slipping hazard on a designated sport surface.
The lawsuit alleges Fast-Dry applied inappropriate, non-compliant, or excessively slick material for the logo, creating a dangerous condition for players. Those claims are allegations in a civil complaint and have not been proven in court.
Bryzek claims the alleged fall caused severe bodily injuries. The complaint seeks damages for alleged pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, scarring, mental anguish, loss of capacity for the enjoyment of life, medical and nursing care expenses, lost earnings, lost earning capacity and aggravation of a pre-existing condition.
The complaint states the action seeks damages in excess of $50,000, exclusive of interest and costs. Bryzek also seeks compensatory damages, prejudgment interest on economic damages, costs, any further relief the court deems proper and a jury trial.
