Alexander Mejia, as independent administrator for the estate of Maria Mejia-Ramirez, filed a complaint on Jan. 24 in Cook County Circuit Court against the defendants, alleging they failed to provide proper care to Mejia-Ramirez while she was staying in their facility.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges Mejia-Ramirez experienced pain from having developed pressure ulcers and skin breakdown.
