Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida

Legally negligent or not

Incurred damages from a water leak coming from the condo above me. Absent owner had turned off the water to his unit at the main cutoff. He also opened all the faucets in his condo and plugged all the drains. The cutoff valve malfunctioned, the sinks filled with water and overflowed, causing the damage to my unit. Owner claims he was not negligent because the primary cause of the incident was the malfunctioning valve, which he has since replaced. Was he legally negligent?
