In this case, Cynthia King is filing a lawsuit against the Park Manor Humble nursing home claiming negligence and wrongful death. According to the lawsuit, King claims that in November 2008, her mother needed to be hospitalized after her leg was fractured and her shoulder dislocated due to falling out of her wheelchair while under the care of the nursing home. In February 2009, King’s mother had to have surgery because she developed a stage IV pressure sore on her back due to the nursing home failing to turn her in bed regularly. Also, according to the lawsuit, King’s mother died as a result of multiple surgeries and wounds she had to endure because of the nursing home failure to provide her with proper care.
