\u201cI know we don\u2019t have earthquakes and stuff, but it felt like an earthquake or a sinkhole or something everything just started coming down on me,\u201d said Dajah Stover. <\/p>\n
Stover, her father and attorneys think most people would never believe a ceiling and the air conditioning system in a restaurant would suddenly come crashing down.<\/p>\n
But it happened on Oct. 6 at Flyers Wings and Grill in Orlando.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just saw so much blood pouring from my head,\u201d Stover said. \u201cThe ambulance came and they basically saw the situation, how it happened, and they saw the deep cut I had in my head, and they just I need to go to the hospital to get staples.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stover wasn\u2019t alone in the restaurant, she was eating with her daughter, who was not quite two years old at the time.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had walked over there to sit next to her and scooted her over,\u201d she said. \u201cSo if I had not walked there and scooted her over, everything would have hit her instead of me. And that was just by the grace of God, that she didn\u2019t get hit.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stover is now suing the restaurant, claiming negligence and lingering health problems from the collapse.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s definitely traumatic for the family, myself and the family, to know that my daughter and granddaughter were in a situation like that,\u201d said Torrence Stover, Dajaj\u2019s father. <\/p>\n
According to state inspection reports, the restaurant has been cited for violations involving \u201cceiling tiles and vents soiled with accumulated food debris\u201d since 2023, and just days after the ceiling collapse was given a \u201crepeat violation warning\u201d for lack of ceiling maintenance.<\/p>\n
The lawsuit also alleges in \u201c2024, a customer was injured when a piece of ceiling fell.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt wasn\u2019t until after Dajaj got hit in the head and her daughter narrowly escaping injury or death that they closed down the restaurant, partially, to fix this,\u201d said Ryan Fletcher, who is representing Dajaj Stover. <\/p>\n
The restaurant also had multiple violations of the FDA food code and the lawsuit highlights a repeat violation for damaged or missing ceiling tiles.<\/p>\n
So far, the business has not commented on the lawsuit.<\/p>\n
