Rapper Flo Rida’s son, Zohar, age 6, fell from a window in the rapper’s fifth-floor New Jersey apartment on March 4. The child’s mother has filed a lawsuit against the building’s management company.
Zohar 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 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 says that the company mismanaged the building’s safety and created hazardous conditions as a result of their carelessness, recklessness, and negligence.
The management company is charged with installing incorrectly sized window guards.
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 his son’s condition on social media on Thursday, March 30. He expressed gratitude to everyone who had reached out and wished him and his son the best.
He wrote on Instagram that Zohar was receiving the best medical care, and that his son’s survival was a miracle. He asked everyone to keep praying for his son.
Zohar suffers from hydrocephalus, for which he has previously undergone brain surgery, according to the Daily Mail.
