BOCA WEST SUED: Man Claims Critical Injury At Wet Swimming Pool

LAWSUIT: POOL AREA SHOULD HAVE PREVENTED POOLING OF WATER. SERIOUSLY.

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2025 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The Boca West Country Club is facing a lawsuit by a man who claims he was injured near the swimming pool which was allegedly constructed in such a way that water pooled at the pool. According to the suit, the man wasn’t expecting the pool area to be wet. The suit alleges that Boca West should have known that water would pool at the swimming pool and constructed the pool in a different way.

The lawsuit just filed in Palm Beach County Circuit Court seeks in excess of $50,000 for Gary Poltorak whose attorneys claim suffered critical injuries. Here are the allegations made in the lawsuit:

“On or about March 7, 2025, Defendant, its agents, servants or employees, breached its duties owed to Plaintiff in one or more of the following ways: By failing to maintain the Pool Area in a reasonably safe condition; By failing to maintain the Pool Area to prevent the pooling of water; By failing to remedy the Pool Area to prevent the pooling of water; By failing to correct a dangerous condition that it knew or reasonably should have known existed; By failing to have proper methods of inspecting, fixing, maintaining, and/or warning about dangerous conditions that it knew or should have known existed;

By failing to warn of the dangerous condition that existed at the time of Plaintiff’s incident; By failing to design and construct the Pool Area in such a way where water would not collect and/or pool; By failing to enforce policies regarding preventing slip and fall incidents;

By failing to use reasonable care under the circumstances; By creating a foreseeable zone of danger by failing to prevent the pooling and/or accumulation of water and/or liquid within the Pool Area; By failing to have appropriate and reasonable warnings in place within the Pool Area; and By failing to use a material that was adequately slip resistant to in the Pool Area given it was reasonably foreseeable that water and/or liquid would accumulate.”

As a result of injuries allegedly sustained Mr. Poltorak: “bodily injury, resulting pain and suffering, disability or physical impairment, disfigurement, mental anguish, inconvenience, loss of capacity for the enjoyment of life in the past and future, expenses of hospitalization,” and more.

We are unaware as of mid-day Tuesday if a judge has reacted to the allegations that a swimming pool was constructed in a manner that would lead to the pooling of water. Mr. Poltorak is represented by the Miami law firm of Lausner Graham Injury Law. Read the complete complaint — with all of the allegations about the swimming pool being wet — below.
