Howard Richardson, executor of the estate of Kimie Richardson, deceased, filed the suit Feb. 26 in Madison County Circuit Court against University Care Center LLC, doing business as University and Rehab Center, and Mark Ide, owner of the center, alleging negligence. 

According to the complaint, Kimie Richardson allegedly developed severe sepsis, which caused her physical condition to deteriorate while she was in the care of the staff at this nursing center.
