Florida Family Files Wrongful Death Lawsuit After Woman Killed by Alligator

The family of an 85-year-old woman who was killed by an alligator while walking her dog in a Florida subdivision has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the real estate company that owns and operates the property. The lawsuit alleges that the property management encouraged the woman to walk her dog near a retention pond known to contain large, dangerous alligators, and failed to take steps to remove the threat. The property management company responded, stating that this was the first alligator attack in the 37-year history of the development, and that the woman was aware of the presence of alligators.
