A Palm Beach County resident has filed a lawsuit against a local business, alleging negligence that led to personal injury. Dana Even-Behar initiated the complaint in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida, on November 26, 2025, against CDR Federal, L.L.C., a Florida-based limited liability company.
The case revolves around an incident that occurred on July 15, 2024, when Dana Even-Behar was visiting Peninsula Plaza at 2424 N Federal Hwy in Boca Raton. As an invitee on the premises owned and operated by CDR Federal, she claims to have slipped and fallen due to a liquid substance near the elevators in the main lobby. The plaintiff argues that CDR Federal knew or should have known about this hazardous condition and failed to address it appropriately. According to Even-Behar’s complaint, CDR Federal had a duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors and warn them of any latent dangers present.
The legal document accuses CDR Federal of several lapses in responsibility. It alleges that the company failed to adequately warn about potential hazards, did not maintain the premises according to Florida codes, neglected reasonable inspections, and failed to ensure safe ingress and egress from the property. The plaintiff asserts these failures resulted in her sustaining bodily injuries that caused pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, medical expenses, lost earnings potential, and aggravation of pre-existing conditions.
Dana Even-Behar is seeking damages exceeding $50,000 from CDR Federal for their alleged negligence. She requests compensation for medical costs incurred due to hospitalization and treatment following her fall. Additionally, she seeks relief for ongoing losses related to her ability to earn money and future medical expenses stemming from her injuries.
Representing Dana Even-Behar are attorneys David I. Shiner and Stratton A. Smiley from Shiner Law Group P.A., based in Boca Raton. The case is filed under Case Number 502025CA012360XXXAMB.
