Flo Rida‘s six-year-old son is still in the Intensive Care Unit after falling from a five-story apartment building window earlier this month.
According to the Daily Voice, the mother of Zohar Dillard, Alexis Adams, filed a lawsuit against the Jersey City building’s management on Monday (March 27), claiming they were “negligent and careless and did not install size guards on the window” which led to the scary fall.
Zohar is a special needs child and reportedly has been diagnosed with autism and a brain condition called hydrocephalus.
As a result of the fall, he suffered a shattered pelvis, metatarsal fractures, a liver laceration, internal bleeding and collapsed lungs.
“As a single mom to a special needs child, this feels like a nightmare,” Adams said. “My heart is broken into a million pieces. It is devastating to see my child go through such pain and trauma knowing that this could’ve been avoided.”

Adams filed the lawsuit with the Hudson County Superior Court and is reportedly seeking an unspecified amount when it comes to compensation for treating the injuries Zohar suffered.
Flo Rida isn’t named directly in the lawsuit, but scored a major legal victory earlier this year when he was awarded over $82million in his legal battle against Celsius.
Flo believed he popularized the drink when he came on board as an ambassador in 2014 and wasn’t compensated properly when it came to royalties.

A jury ultimately sided with the Florida hitmaker, despite the energy drink company claiming and arguing it had adequately paid Flo Rida for his contributions.
Back in 2018, Flo was ordered to continue paying $9,000 a month in child support payments for his son Zohar – who he’d previously referred to as a “devil child,” and claimed he was “evil.”
A judge denied Flo’s attorney’s request to throw out the case, and he’s also had to come up with another $50,000 for the child’s mother’s legal fees since the ruling.
