A Texas family has filed a lawsuit against a resort following the tragic drowning of a relative during devastating floods, accusing the establishment of failing to protect guests.
The incident occurred as torrential rains battered the region, causing flash floods that swept through the property. According to legal documents, the family claims the resort ignored multiple warnings about dangerous weather conditions and failed to implement proper safety measures.
'They Knew the Risks'
"They knew the risks and did nothing," said the family's attorney during a press conference. "This was a preventable tragedy that has left children without a parent."
Court filings allege the resort:
- Failed to evacuate guests despite flood warnings
- Lacked proper emergency protocols
- Did not maintain adequate drainage systems
- Neglected to warn guests about rising water levels
Resort Under Scrutiny
Local authorities have launched their own investigation into the resort's emergency preparedness. This marks the third weather-related incident at the property in five years, raising questions about its location in a known flood zone.
Meteorologists recorded nearly 30cm of rain falling in just three hours during the deadly storm, with water levels rising rapidly across the low-lying resort grounds.
The family is seeking unspecified damages for wrongful death, emotional distress, and what they describe as "corporate indifference to human life." Resort management has declined to comment on the pending litigation.
