Case Number
W2024-01193-COA-R3-CV

Appellee filed this action, as next of kin of Decedent, against Appellant nursing facility alleging that Appellant was negligent in its care of Decedent.  Appellee also asserted a wrongful death claim.  Appellant filed a motion to compel arbitration on its allegation that Decedent signed a binding arbitration agreement before being admitted into its facility.  The trial court found that Appellant failed to authenticate the alleged arbitration agreement and concluded that there was no evidence of a binding arbitration agreement between Appellant and Decedent.  As such, the trial court denied the motion to compel arbitration.  Discerning no error, we affirm.
