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.
Something fishy here
What you thinking
Caring for a special needs child is tough. I’m not saying she did anything purposely, but how are you not watching your 6 year old long enough for them to open and climb out a window? Something isn’t right with this.
Hydrocephalus::water head, a condition brought on by smoking weed while pregnant.

Where did you get that asinine answer? This is caused from fluid build up in the brain. Mostly a genetic disorder. That was a stupid statement you made.
I’m normally not that type of person but, my hood sense is tingling. Something ain’t matching here.
The victim mentality never ends. How is it the managements fault you werent watching your kid and he jumped out thebwindow ? You picked a 5th floor apartment, nobody forced you. And you were fine with no window guards until after the accident happened. I wish the kid a speedy recovery, but this lawsuit is bullshit.
Its interesting to read local news on HHDX. I hope the kid recovers and pulls through.
All these lawyers and lawsuits are the reason it’s illegal to leave an 11 year old home alone nowadays. It’s ridiculous to blame the building management for having windows that people can physically jump out of. Through these lawsuits, all apartment buildings will eventually have the hotel type windows. Barely able to get fresh air. Balconies will be outlawed. Lawyers and frivolous lawsuits ruin everything thats great.
