$12 Million Verdict – Negligent Security Wrongful Death – Miami, Florida

GUEVARA MACHADO v. THE WAVES OF HIALEAH, Inc.
Yaimi Guevara Machado was locked out of her room at the Chesapeake Motel. She went to the front desk and asked that the room be opened. The clerk instructed Ms. Guevara Machado to wait outside her room. Twenty-minutes prior a man walked into the lobby drunk and asked for beer and a prostitute. The front desk clerk sold the man beer and told him he needed to find servicewomen outside. The man leaves the lobby and stops a housekeeper asking her for a kiss. The housekeeper threatens to call the front desk, but the man leaves once he sees Ms. Guevara Machado in the hallway. Sadly, her room door was never opened and the last time she was seen was walking toward the front entrance in the area where she was brutally murdered by the man.
