Expertise in Complex Medical Negligence

Medical malpractice cases are notoriously difficult to win in Texas due to strict tort reform laws, but the Hastings Law Firm has a proven track record of overcoming these hurdles. The legal team possesses a deep understanding of medical procedures and standards of care, allowing them to effectively challenge defense arguments from hospitals and insurance companies. They handle a wide array of cases, including surgical errors, misdiagnoses, birth injuries, and nursing home neglect. By collaborating with respected medical experts, they build irrefutable cases that demonstrate exactly how the negligence occurred and the profound impact it has had on the victim’s life.

• Surgical Errors: seeking justice for patients injured during routine or complex operations, including wrong-site surgery and retained instruments.
• Failure to Diagnose: representing clients whose conditions, such as cancer or heart disease, worsened due to a doctor’s failure to identify symptoms.
• Birth Injuries: advocating for infants and parents who have suffered preventable harm during labor and delivery, such as cerebral palsy.

A Patient-Centered Legal Philosophy

Tommy Hastings believes that a successful attorney must use both their head and their heart. This philosophy permeates the firm’s culture, where every client is treated with dignity and respect. The attorneys take the time to listen to each client’s story, understanding the emotional and physical toll of their injuries. They strive to remove the burden of the legal process from the client’s shoulders, handling all communications with insurance adjusters and defense lawyers. This allows victims to focus on what matters most: their recovery and their families. The firm’s dedication to its clients is reflected in its numerous positive reviews and its reputation as a fierce opponent in the courtroom.
