Rebekah Cornett and Kalum Cornett, individually and as personal representatives of the estate of Delaney Cornett, filed a complaint on Aug. 8 in the Harris County District Court against C-HCA Inc., doing business as Clear Lake Regional Medical Center, alleging negligence.
According to the complaint, the plaintiffs allege that on Sept. 26, 2016, Delaney Cornett and her twin sister were prematurely born at 25 weeks at Clear Lake Regional Medical Center. The suit states she passed away Oct. 23, 2016, due to septic shock.
