$2.2 Million

Case Details

In 2014, an elderly woman suffering from dementia entered into the Superior Care Home nursing home in Paducah, KY. The home’s new memory care facility believed they could help. While living there, however, the resident did not receive proper care and was kicked out without adequate justification. Less than one month later she died. The nursing home’s negligence was believed to be a contributing factor in her death. After her passing, surviving family members filed a lawsuit to hold the facility accountable for their negligence. Jurors ordered Superior Care Home to pay over $2 million in damages, including $580,000 in compensatory damages and an additional $1,625,000 in punitive damages.
