Anthony Hickey says he did not receive timely medical care for injuries sustained while he was incarcerated, according to a complaint filed late last year against Tennessee-based prison operator CoreCivic. 

Hickey suffered a crushed left hip and femur after being attacked by inmates while in his cell at Trousdale Turner Correctional Center, his lawsuit alleges. Further, Hickey claims, correctional officers refused his request for care until three days later. He ultimately received a partial hip replacement. In addition, when he injured his jaw and lost a tooth filling after falling off of his bed, his care was delayed three months and resulted in emergency dental surgery, the lawsuit alleges.
