Maria Machado has filed a lawsuit against a beach service company, claiming negligence after an unfortunate incident left her injured. The complaint was officially lodged by Maria Machado in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida, on January 16, 2025, targeting Oceanside Beach Service, Inc.

The case stems from an incident that occurred on November 27, 2023, when Machado visited Delray Beach, where Oceanside Beach Service operates its business. According to the complaint, Oceanside Beach Service is responsible for providing beach furniture such as umbrellas to the public. Machado alleges that the company failed to secure its equipment properly, resulting in one of their umbrellas striking her and causing significant physical injuries. The plaintiff argues that this mishap was due to Oceanside’s negligence in maintaining a safe environment for its patrons.

Machado’s complaint details several allegations against Oceanside Beach Service. She accuses the company of failing to install and secure their beach furniture adequately and not maintaining it properly. This alleged negligence created hazardous conditions for beachgoers like herself. Additionally, she claims that Oceanside failed to inspect or warn about these dangers despite knowing—or reasonably should have known—about them. The plaintiff further asserts that there were insufficient staff and inadequate training provided to employees regarding inspecting and maintaining the safety of their equipment.
