A medical malpractice claim has been brought on behalf of a man who died from sepsis.
Louise Holt, widow of John Holt, filed suit against Beaumont Healthcare Center-Lindbergh and Pinnacle Health Facilities of Texas on Jan. 15 in Jefferson County District Court.
According to the lawsuit, John Holt was a patient under the care of the defendants. Beaumont Healthcare provided long-term home nursing care from November 2009 to Nov. 1, 2010.
“During the course of said treatment, John Edward Holt suffered the following injuries: death, attributable to: cardiopulmonary arrest due to sepsis,” the suit states.
The suit accuses the defendants of failing to recognize John Holt’s condition and consult a specialist in the field of infectious disease.

They are represented by Brett Thomas of the Beaumont law firm Roebuck & Thomas.
Judge Milton Shuffield, 136th District Court, is assigned to the case.
