DELRAY BEACH, FL (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2026) — A Delray Beach residential community and its property management company are facing a negligence lawsuit that alleges a dangerous condition near a community pool caused a trip-and-fall injury.
The complaint, filed Jan. 12, 2026 in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, names plaintiffs Peter Treadway and Yung Fai Ko, his wife, against defendants Seven Bridges Homeowners Association, Inc. and Campbell Property Management and Real Estate, Inc. The case is assigned Case No. 502026CA000379XXXAMB, according to the court filing.
Treadway and Ko, through their attorney, seek damages exceeding $50,000, the complaint states. The lawsuit was filed by David C. Prather of Smith, Ball, Baez & Prather Florida Injury Lawyers, based in Palm Beach Gardens, according to the signature block on the complaint. Defense counsel is not listed in the complaint.
In the filing, the plaintiffs allege Seven Bridges Homeowners Association controlled and maintained the property at 16701 Cabernet Drive in Delray Beach, and that Campbell Property Management and Real Estate served as the property management company for the community. The complaint claims the defendants were responsible for inspecting and maintaining the property and keeping it in a reasonably safe condition.
The alleged incident described in the complaint dates to Jan. 27, 2024. Treadway claims he was walking to the community pool for daily aquatic exercise when he tripped on what the lawsuit describes as an uneven paver on the outside of the pool deck. The complaint alleges he was making his way to place his items on a large chair when he tripped.
The complaint asserts the condition existed due to negligent maintenance of the community pool area and that it was allowed to develop and remain for an extended period of time. It further alleges the condition was known to the defendants, or had existed long enough that they should have known about it, and that it created an unsafe and dangerous condition at the pool area.
The lawsuit brings separate negligence counts against each defendant. In Count I, the plaintiffs allege Seven Bridges breached a duty of care by failing to maintain the property in a reasonably safe condition and by being negligent in inspections and maintenance of the community pool area. In Count II, the complaint makes similar negligence allegations against Campbell Property Management and Real Estate, asserting the company failed to maintain the property in a reasonably safe condition and was negligent in inspections and maintenance of the pool area.
The complaint states Treadway suffered significant personal injuries and lists categories of alleged damages including pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, inconvenience, impairment of working ability, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of income, and loss of earning capacity, along with medical expenses. The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, costs, and interest, and demand a jury trial, according to the filing.
A third count is brought by Ko as a consortium claim. The complaint alleges Ko has been and will be deprived of the comfort, society, and consortium of her husband as a result of the incident described in the filing.
