Why Hire The Higgins Firm for Your Knoxville Personal Injury Case

Get a Lawyer That Gets Results Why Hire The Higgins Firm of Knoxville for Your Personal Injury Case?

If you’ve been involved in a car accident, hurt on the job, endured medical malpractice, or slipped and fallen at the grocery store, you probably already know that you need a lawyer to help you file a claim for damages. But, with so many options, it can get confusing, and many people simply turn to the first attorney they find.

There’s a big difference between hiring a personal injury lawyer and hiring the right personal injury firm for your case. Some personal injury attorneys will claim they can handle any kind of lawsuit, and take your case no matter what. The trouble with a firm that doesn’t specialize is that you may end up with a lawyer who is a Jack-Of-All-Trades but master of none.

The Higgins Firm is different for four key reasons, reasons that can make all the difference in the outcome your case.

Specialized Litigation Teams

Personal injury law firms are, by nature, litigation firms. We advocate for the rights of the consumer, the elderly, and those injured through an accident that wasn’t their fault. The Higgins Firm represents the interests of people who may not be able to advocate for their own rights and protects their interests against insurance companies and big business.

We structured our firm into litigation teams specializing in a particular type of personal injury. For example, we offer:

While Tennessee personal injury laws are largely the same for most types of cases, each category of personal injury litigation has its own statutes, including what kind of evidence you need to support your claim and the threshold of liability of the other party. Creating departments that focus solely on one kind of personal injury allows us to become experts in several areas, thereby giving our clients the quality representation they deserve.

Expertise From the Other Side

Many of the lawyers at The Higgins Firm are former defense attorneys for insurance companies. Their unique insight and experience benefit our clients because we can anticipate what the other party’s insurance company is likely to do and craft our response it.

Understanding what factors motivate insurance carriers for large corporations, medical care providers, or commercial trucking companies can help us when we negotiate on behalf of our clients.

Peer-Honored Achievements

Our client reviews and verdict history go a long way towards demonstrating the level of service and commitment The Higgins Firm delivers to clients. But, our awards and accolades from fellow members of the bar and other professional organizations speak to our reputation among our peers.

Our lawyers have been nationally recognized by:

  • Super Lawyers
  • Million Dollar Advocate Forum
  • Top 100

Just to name a few. If you’re curious about the honors awarded by your litigation team, check out our company profile.

These honors aren’t handed out lightly and are given to those lawyers with exceptional commitment to their clients' cases and a track record of solid performance in winning large verdicts on their clients’ behalf. Our pride in these awards is largely because they demonstrate our commitment to you.

Solid Track Record from Referred Cases

Many of our cases come as referrals from other lawyers. We’ve earned a solid reputation in many categories of personal injury litigation, most recently in our nursing home abuse cases. The Higgins Firm doesn't just emphasize great relationships with our clients but also with other lawyers in Knoxville and East Tennessee. Many of our personal injury cases are referred by lawyers who specialize in other areas of the law, such as Family Law or Business Law.
