Tennessee fire settlement records sealed
LTC Liability Monitor, December 21, 2004
The records of 29 lawsuits settled between a Tennessee nursing home and families of the victims of a 2003 fire there have been sealed, reported the Associated Press. The circuit court judge who presided over the cases has sealed the court documents and the court order stating the reason for the seal.
Sixteen women died in or shortly after the fire at the National HealthCare Corp. home in Nashville. The families are afraid now they may never find out what caused the fire, according to AP.
