BOYNTON BEACH — The Homeowners Association at Valencia Reserve is facing a
lawsuit from a man who says the HOA was negligent in the care of its clubhouse.
The man fell and claims critical injuries.
Richard Blutig, in his
lawsuit, says he was in or near the property at 9275 Lake
Royal Road in Boynton Beach on December 21st, 2020 as a
“business invitee.” The suit alleges that the HOA
“carelessly” and “negligently” failed to maintain the
grounds on its premises in a “reasonably safe condition,”
and created “a dangerous condition” for those “ambulating.”
The suit, filed by Miami attorney Diana Usten, makes no
mention of the actual negligence or what led Mr. Blutig to
fall. It was unclear if he says that he fell in the
clubhouse or on clubhouse grounds.
According to the suit, Mr. Blutig, “suffered bodily injury
and resulting pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement,
mental anguish, aggravation and/or acceleration of
pre-existing condition(s), loss of capacity for the
enjoyment of life, expense of hospitalization, medical and
nursing care and treatment, loss of earnings, and the loss
of ability to earn money in the past and future.” |

There was no immediate response filed by the Valencia Reserve HOA. Local
Real Estate Expert Zev Friedus tells us that, “Valencia Reserve is a single
family residence community located in Boynton Beach Florida with seven homes
currently for sale between $650,000 and $997,500.” GL Homes marketed the
community as an “active adult” community, the term it uses for communities
that focus on those age 55 and older.
