In a lawsuit filed on March 20, 2024, in the District Court of Harris County, Texas (Case No. 2024-1 8048), plaintiff Melvin Lee Brown II is suing Focused Care at Humble and FPACP Humble LLC. The case involves allegations of negligence resulting in wrongful death.
The plaintiff's father, Mr. Melvin Lee Brown, was a long-term resident at Focused Care of Humble following a traumatic brain injury. On July 8, 2022, he choked on a breadstick that was not safe for him to eat due to his difficulty swallowing and died from a subsequent brain injury. The defendant's lawyers are Amarillo Corporate Services LLC and Natasha Johnson-Murphy.
The plaintiff alleges that the defendants were negligent in their care and treatment of Mr. Brown. This includes failing to implement adequate interventions to prevent choking and allowing Mr. Brown to eat food that was not safely prepared for his condition.
Melvin Lee Brown II is seeking damages under the Texas Wrongful Death Statute as the sole statutory beneficiary. He claims that the negligence of Focused Care at Humble and FPACP Humble LLC directly led to his father's death.
