Family Files Wrongful Death Lawsuit Against Sam Houston Electric Cooperative
The family of a Liberty County, Texas, resident who died on November 29 last year has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the local power company.
Lester Berry, 70, had congestive heart failure and chronic pulmonary disease that required constant oxygen supply.
The lawsuit alleges that Berry was not able to get oxygen because Sam Houston Electric Cooperative cut off his electricity connection. It further claims that although he owed $129.62 for a previous month’s bill, the power company knew about his recurring illness and in the past had given him up to four months to pay bills.
The lawsuit accuses the power company of gross negligence and wrongful death, and is seeking over $1 million in damages.
