Those were the words one concerned daughter shared with KPRC 2′s Deven Clarke after her 86-year-old father had to endure at least a week without power following Hurricane Beryl.

The Buzbee Law Firm announced that it will file a class-action case Monday against Centerpoint Energy on behalf of several Houston area restaurants.

More than 1 million CenterPoint customers are still without power four days after Hurricane Beryl hit, with temperatures soaring into the mid-90s. Despite the company's efforts to restore power and their newly launched restoration status tracker, many find the tool confusing and inaccurate. CenterPoint has brought in 12,000 additional workers and aims to restore power to hundreds of thousands by the weekend.

CenterPoint Energy is preparing for Beryl’s impacts as it heads for the Texas coast.

During Houston’s historic winter storm last month, the Katy home that James lived in with his daughter and son-in-law lost power and later Jones eventually died. “CenterPoint Energy did not plan properly for this power outage, and CenterPoint did not care,” said Benny Agosto Jr., attorney for Jones’ family. Now, Pamela Bunkley, Jones’ daughter, and her husband are suing CenterPoint Energy for wrongful death. AdDuring that time, there was no electricity to power James’ respirator and he became weaker and weaker from the lack of oxygen. Now, James’ daughter Pamela is suing CenterPoint Energy for more than a million dollars, claiming the company caused her father’s death.

“I don’t know if anything compares to loss of life in this magnitude,” said Houston attorney Chris Leavitt of the Buzbee Law Firm. It was a series of really poor decisions that put money over people’s safety.”Leavitt said as of Monday, his firm has filed more than 30 wrongful death lawsuits against The Electric Reliability Council of Texas and power companies across Texas that center on decisions made leading up to last month’s winter storm. She lost power during the storm and then her pipes burst. She went to stay with her daughter and then her daughter lost power. AdWhile as a matter of company policy CenterPoint Energy does not comment on pending litigation, we mourn for all the lives that were lost as a result of the severe winter weather event.

The complaints blamed the electric companies for the deaths of Houstonians who froze to death during last week’s winter storms.

HOUSTON – The lawsuits are piling up against the Electric Reliability Council of Texas and Centerpoint Energy after last week’s winter storm.

Austin’s family found him dead in his residence Tuesday morning. Our thoughts are with all Texans who have and are suffering due to this past week,” wrote ERCOT spokesperson Leslie Sopko.

HOUSTON – Many of you are leery of letters sent to thousands of homes offering you gas line coverage in case your gas line should need repairs. You’ve asked KPRC 2 to put this program through our Trust Index to find out what it’s all about. Ad“We’ve seen, on average, gas line repairs average around $1500 a repair, which is significant,” said Centerpoint’s Director of Home Services Rick Plummer. If you don’t have at least $1500 saved for emergency repairs, it wouldn’t hurt to sign up for the gas line protection offered by HomeServe and endorsed by Centerpoint. The older your home is, the more likely you might be to have issues with your water or gas lines.
