If you think that someone you know has been abused or neglected in one of these local nursing homes or another home, it is advised that you talk to one of our lawyers with the Higgins Firm. We will listen to your case and answer any questions you might have.
If you are thinking about placing your loved one in one of these nursing homes or any other nursing home, the first thing you should do is to visit each of the homes and check them out. It is important to make a note of how the nursing home looks and smells to help you determine the care being provided. It is also important to pay attention to whether or not residents are being attended to or whether they seem to be calling for help or be in pain. Then, it is recommended to talk with the nursing home about their training methods, when and where the residents eat, how medication is handled, how many staff are there for each floor or each resident. If you are able to get answers to these questions and concerns, it will help you to choose the nursing home that is right for your loved one.
Once you choose a nursing home, it is a good idea to visit your loved one as often as possible and at different times of the day. This way you can notice how staff are taking care of not only your loved one but the other residents as well. You can also talk with or sit with your loved one and take note of any physical abuse such as bruises, cuts,sores, or scrapes. It is also a good time to notice any other signs of abuse or neglect such as if your loved one seems withdrawn or unusually worried or upset. If you notice any of these things, you should speak to the nursing home and see if they can address your concerns. If this does not solve the problem, you can speak to someone with the Tennessee Department of Health.
If you suspect nursing home abuse or neglect of someone you love, then you should speak to one of our caring and knowledgeable nursing home abuse and neglect lawyers at the Higgins Firm. We care about our clients and know that the care of your loved one is very important to you. We will work with you and on your behalf to make sure that you receive the compensation that you need for any abuse or neglect your loved one may have suffered.

Jim Higgins, founder of the Higgins Firm, is a seasoned personal injury attorney with deep roots in Nashville, Tennessee. A 4th generation Nashvillian, Jim carries on the legal legacy of his father, a judge for over 30 years. After graduating from the University of Memphis School of Law, Jim’s career began on the other side of the courtroom, defending insurance companies and learning their tactics for minimizing settlements. However, he soon realized his true calling was fighting for the rights of the injured, and for the past several years, he has exclusively represented plaintiffs in personal injury cases.
Since then, his dedication and skill have earned him membership in the prestigious Million Dollar Advocates Forum, an organization limited to attorneys who have secured million and multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements for their clients. Licensed to practice in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Georgia, Jim focuses on personal injury, product liability, medical malpractice, and workers’ compensation cases. His exceptional work has been recognized by his peers, earning him a spot on the Super Lawyers list from 2021 to 2024, a distinction awarded to only a select group of accomplished attorneys in each state.
