Justice & Fair Compensation for Our Clients

The following cases represent a selection of verdicts and settlements that our attorneys have achieved for patients and families harmed by medical negligence, unsafe pharmaceuticals, and defective medical devices in jurisdictions nationwide. Unfortunately, many of these cases have strict NDAs that prevent us from disclosing settlement amounts or any parties involved.

Each result is the product of thorough investigation, collaboration with leading medical experts, and effective trial advocacy. While every case is unique, these examples demonstrate what can be accomplished when experienced trial lawyers pursue justice with precision, skill, and commitment – no matter where the case arises.

    Settlement

    Tommy Hastings handled this high profile case involving over the counter medication that was contaminated with bacteria which caused the injury and death of several children nationwide.

Tommy’s final action in the case was attending the sentencing hearing for the CEO with his clients as they spoke to the court about their loss. The court imposed the maximum penalty, thanks in large part to the bravery of these parents.

    Jury Verdict

    Tommy Hastings handled this wrongful death case that was hailed by several media outlets as the first civil verdict in the country against a “pill mill”. The decedent was a veteran who was unable to make his appointment at the VA for his pain medication. He visited a local pain clinic and was prescribed medications that were double the strength of his regular medication. Unbeknownst to him, this clinic was only in the business of prescribing opiates for profit and did not use legitimate medical providers or standards. The decedent accidentally overdosed on the medication. Tommy agreed to represent the family and tirelessly uncovered a vast criminal conspiracy involving a physician, a sheriff’s deputy, and a medical recruiter. The jury found all of these parties responsible and assessed damages at $10,000,000 including punitive damages. The physician surrendered his license, the deputy resigned from the department and the recruiter was forced to sell everything to pay the judgment. The publicity from the case helped spur the passage of the first “pill mill” legislation in Texas.

  • $5,750,000

    Settlement

    Tommy Hastings handled this medical malpractice case. The Plaintiff was pregnant with her first child when she went into labor. During labor, her fetal monitor showed signs of distress that were not reported to the physician on call. When the physician was finally notified of the distress, she delayed the C-section for over an hour which caused the baby to go without oxygen before birth. This delay caused the child to have hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, a brain injury due to oxygen deprivation. The sweet girl was left with several physical and cognitive deficits. The case was settled prior to trial for an amount that provided for her lifelong needs.
