Harbourside Place faces new lawsuit from friend of Jupiter father electrocuted in fountain

JUPITER — A man who jumped in the fountain at Harbourside Place to save his neighbor and their children from electrical shocks has sued the complex, its management company and its CEO over the injuries, stress and trauma he suffered during the rescue.

Seth Kozak required hospital care after the Oct. 22, 2023, incident at the popular waterfront retail and restaurant complex that killed Jupiter native Nate Davenport . Kozak’s child and two of Davenport’s children also received treatment at hospitals.

Kozak and his wife sued the complex on July 29, seeking more than $50,000 in damages. Jack Scarola, Kozak’s attorney, said last month that “documents are being finalized to complete the final resolution of the case on behalf of the Kozaks,” adding that the terms of the settlement are confidential. The case remained before the courts as of Friday.

Multiple attempts to reach attorneys for Harbourside Place were unsuccessful. After Davenport’s death, Nick Mastroianni, the complex’s chief executive officer, released a statement on the incident saying, “This is a tragedy. Our focus is on the people involved and their families. We ask the community to join us in praying for them.”
