ABC Action News reported on the filing of a civil lawsuit following the tragic death of Steven Cozzi, a Tampa-area attorney. The suit seeks accountability related to the circumstances surrounding Mr. Cozzi’s death and the failures alleged by his family.
BTG is representing the Cozzi family in pursuing answers and accountability through the civil justice system. From a legal standpoint, cases like this often involve complex questions of negligence, security obligations, and responsibility when warning signs or safety measures are allegedly ignored.
While criminal proceedings address guilt or innocence, civil litigation serves a different but critical role—examining whether preventable failures contributed to harm and whether those responsible should be held accountable under Florida law.
Litigation is ongoing. No outcome is implied.
