In a recent legal filing, a Florida resident has taken legal action against a local business, alleging negligence that led to significant personal injuries. On February 16, 2026, Vera Wilson filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit in Pinellas County, Florida, against Ulmerton Enterprises, Inc., seeking damages exceeding $50,000.

The lawsuit arises from an incident on February 18, 2025, when Wilson visited the premises of Ulmerton Enterprises as a business invitee. The complaint asserts that Ulmerton Enterprises failed to maintain their property in a safe condition and neglected to warn visitors of potential hazards. Specifically, Wilson claims she tripped and fell due to an uneven concrete walkway and surrounding parking lot area at the business located at 2325 Ulmerton Road. The fall allegedly resulted in severe injuries including pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, permanent scarring, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life.

Wilson’s legal team argues that Ulmerton Enterprises breached its duty of care by not adequately maintaining or inspecting the premises for hazards. The complaint details several alleged omissions by the defendant: failing to maintain the concrete walkway properly; creating trip hazards; neglecting to inspect or warn about dangers; and not correcting known hazardous conditions. These failures are claimed to have directly caused Wilson’s injuries.

The plaintiff is seeking compensatory damages for her injuries and losses which include medical expenses and loss of earnings. Additionally, she demands a jury trial to resolve all triable issues related to this case.

Representing Vera Wilson is attorney Megan Tiralosi from Morgan & Morgan Tampa P.A., while no specific attorneys for Ulmerton Enterprises are mentioned in the document. Case Number 26-001009-CI.
