‘Not code compliant’: Injured diner sues Naples restaurant for ceiling collapse

Co-Managing Partner Aaron Davis spoke with Fox 4 about a recent lawsuit involving a ceiling collapse at restaurant La Trattoria in Naples that left seven people injured. Aaron, who is representing one of the injured patrons, explained that his client was knocked unconscious by the falling debris and required stitches for a deep cut.

The injuries continue to affect his client’s daily life, leading them to file a lawsuit against the restaurant and property owners, citing negligence as the cause of the collapse. Aaron emphasized the importance of quickly filing the lawsuit to ensure they can conduct a thorough investigation into the structural issues that led to the incident.

“Any time you have a situation where a ceiling collapses, and beams and ceiling tiles and things come down on patrons – it’s not code compliant,” Aaron said. “One of the reasons we filed suit so quickly is because we want the opportunity to take discovery and get into the details of exactly why this happened like you would for any kind of structural collapse.”
