BKD TWENTY-ONE MANAGEMENT COMPANY, INC., Horizon Bay Senior Services, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Brookdale Senior Living, Inc., and Senior Lifestyle Newport Limited Partnership d/b/a Newport Place Retirement Community, Appellants, v. John DELSORDO, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

October 31, 2012.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jeanette Bellon and Scott M. Teich of Quintairos, Prieto, Wood & Boyer, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for appellants.

Diran V. Seropian of Steinger, Iscoe & Greene P.A., West Palm Beach, for appellee.


TAYLOR, J.

The defendants-lessors appeal a non-final order denying their motion to compel arbitration in this trip and fall action brought against them by the plaintiff-lessee. We reverse, because the arbitration provision in the lease agreement expressly applies to negligence claims arising out of or related to the defendants' Establishment. Thus the plaintiff's premises liability claims against the defendants are within the scope of the arbitration agreement.
