Florida Family Sues Retirement Community Over Preventable Alligator Attack

The family of Gloria Serge, an 85-year-old grandmother killed by an alligator in a Florida retirement community, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the community, claiming they failed to protect residents from the well-known predator. The lawsuit alleges that the community knew about the alligator, nicknamed Henry, but took no action to keep residents safe, even encouraging them to socialize near the pond where the alligator was often seen. The family seeks at least $50,000 in damages and plans to take the case to a jury trial.
