“I will fight to protect your loved one and hold them accountable.” Perry Shuttlesworth
Meet Perry Shuttlesworth
An Alabama Lawyer Who Fights for the Injured

For over 30 years, I’ve fought for families across Alabama who have suffered due to nursing home neglect, assisted living abuse, and serious personal injuries. I founded Shuttlesworth Law Firm, P.C. in 1998 with one mission: to take on the toughest cases and win for those who need it most.

I’ve built a reputation for holding nursing homes, hospitals, and negligent corporations accountable, securing life-changing results for my clients. My firm doesn’t take every case—we take the right ones. If I take your case, it’s because I believe in it and will fight relentlessly to get justice for you and your loved one.

I hold the largest wrongful death verdict in Blount County, and I’ve successfully taken on cases other firms won’t touch. But for me, it’s not just about the results—it’s about making things right.

Justice isn’t automatic—you have to fight for it. Nursing homes and insurance companies do everything they can to avoid responsibility. That’s why I go to battle for every client, using my decades of experience in trial law to stand up to powerful institutions and demand accountability.

If your loved one has suffered due to nursing home abuse, neglect, or a serious injury, let’s talk. I’ll give you an honest, straightforward assessment of your case—no false promises, just real answers.

Helping Families Make Things Right — One Case at a Time
  • “I lost my dad due to nursing home neglect. Dad was only there for rehab for a fractured hip and within 3 weeks he was gone. Perry handled the case with care and respect. He won for us. We were always kept informed of what was going on and phone calls and emails were answered promptly. I would highly recommend Perry to anyone who needs a lawyer.” – Mitzi W.
  • “My mother was neglected to death by her nursing home. As soon as I got the news and details I immediately knew I had to contact an attorney. After doing diligent research I came across Shuttlesworth Law Firm. … Perry and his team were very quick and thorough and I knew early on my case was in the best hands possible. I'm glad I did my research and I couldn't be happier with my results.” 
– Riley S.
  • “I retained the Shuttlesworth Law Firm to handle a long-term care facility case for me. Perry and his staff were prompt, responsive, professional, and courteous throughout, and most importantly, they provided highly competent legal service. They couldn't have done a better job for me.” – Rick

Warning Signs of
Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect
If Something Feels Wrong, It Probably Is

Nursing homes and assisted living facilities won’t admit to neglect, and many families don’t realize something is wrong until it’s too late. Serious injuries, rapid declines in health, and unexplained deaths are often caused by understaffing, poor medical care, or outright abuse.

  • Bedsores or Pressure Ulcers
  • Unexplained Bruises, Fractures, or Falls
  • Sudden Weight Loss or Dehydration
  • Infections or Poor Hygiene
  • Withdrawal or Emotional Changes
  • Overmedication or Medication Errors
  • Staff Avoiding Questions or Refusing Access

If you notice any of the following warning signs, act immediately—waiting too long could put your loved one at greater risk and may even limit your legal options.

The Truth About Arbitration Agreements
Why You Must Act Fast

Many nursing homes force families to sign arbitration agreements, which limit your ability to sue for abuse or neglect. These agreements protect the facility, not your loved one.

If your family signed an arbitration agreement, you still have legal options. I’ve successfully fought against these agreements and held nursing homes accountable for their negligence. But time is critical—nursing homes act fast to cover up abuse, and waiting too long could weaken your case.

Nursing homes will try to deny, delay, and protect themselves. I will fight to protect your loved one and hold them accountable.
