The household sued the administration corporations working the resort, alleging the dying was the “direct result” of negligence on the property to keep up a functioning pool.

In paperwork filed Wendesday, Northwest Hospitality Services, LLC, alleged it was Jaico’s household who “engaged in negligent acts and/or omissions that proximately caused the alleged injuries and damages.”

In April, one other firm named within the go well with, Unique Crowne Hospitality, made related arguments.

The household has pushed again on recommendations it’s guilty.

“A lot of people are making comments about her [the mother] … that she wasn’t there, she was missing or she may have been in the hotel room. None of that is true,” attorney Richard Nava, who is representing Jaico’s family, said in March.
