Rapper Flo Rida’s son, Zohar, age 6, fell from a window in Flo Rida’s fifth-floor New Jersey apartment. The child’s mother has filed a lawsuit against the building’s management company.
The horrifying incident took place last month on March 4.
Zohar P. Dillard was seriously hurt on the property after falling from a fifth-floor window and landing on the concrete, according to court documents filed with the New Jersey Superior Court on March 27.
Zohar Dillard and his mother, Alexis Adams, are named as plaintiffs in the lawsuit against the management firm and several other construction firms.
Adams’ attorney, Steven P. Haddad, has asked for a jury trial and claims that the building’s managers are at fault for failing to put up proper window guards. He also asserts that the management mismanaged the building’s safety and created hazardous conditions as a result of their carelessness, recklessness, and negligence.
The management is charged with installing incorrectly sized window guards, violating their duty of care.
Adams said that because her son had special needs, the experience felt like even more of a nightmare. The child suffers from hydrocephalus.
Dillard suffered multiple pelvic fractures, a lacerated liver, internal bleeding, fractures of the left metatarsal, and collapsed lungs. The boy is still recovering from his wounds in an ICU.
After remaining silent following his son’s fall, Flo Rida finally spoke about the child’s condition on social media on Thursday, March 30. He expressed gratitude to everyone who had reached out.
Dillard was receiving the best medical care, he wrote on his Instagram stories, and his son’s survival was a miracle. He pleaded with everyone to keep praying for his son. The boy is still in the ICU fighting for his life.
