You may not think twice about letting a trusted friend or family member drive your car if the situation calls for it.

Superior Care Home nursing home in Paducah, KY has been ordered by jurors to pay over $2 million in damages to the Moore family after the passing of 92-year-old Mary Opal Moore.

Moore moved into Superior Care Home in December 2014. She resided there into 2015 for approximately three months.

In most situations, a personal injury case cannot be reopened once a settlement has been reached.
