BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2022 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — A woman claims she was viciously assaulted and battered at Boomers Amusement Park in Boca Raton. That woman is now suing Boomers, claiming employees knew there was the possibility of assault or battery on the property, but the company did nothing about it.
The lawsuit, just filed in Palm Beach County Circuit Court, claims that Melissa Weatherwax was at Boomers at 3100 Airport Road on April 12th, 2020. That’s when she says that she was “battered by an unknown third party and caused to suffer serious bodily injuries.”
The suit claims that Boomers “failed to provide any security for Weatherwax, failed to provide adequate security for Weatherwax, failed to warn Weatherwax of the likely potential for assault and battery on the premises, and failed to warn Weatherwax of the likely potential for assault and battery on the premises.”
Weatherwax says she suffered physical pain, incurred medical expense, suffered physical handicap, aggravation of a pre-existing injury, and her working ability was impaired.”

Weatherwax seeks in excess of $30,000 — the statutory minimum for filing in Palm Beach County Circuit Court. She is represented by the Rogers Law Group of Fort Lauderdale.
