Nationally Recognized Medical Malpractice Lawyers
Medical malpractice cases are among the most complex in personal injury law. They require attorneys who understand medicine as well as they understand the courtroom. At Hastings Law Firm, that’s all we do. Our entire team is built around one area of law, and that level of focus is what allows us to take on the well-funded defense teams that hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and medical device manufacturers put in place to protect themselves.
We’ve secured numerous multi-million dollar results for families affected by medical negligence, birth injuries, dangerous pharmaceuticals, and dangerous medical products. These cases demand thorough investigation, qualified medical experts, and attorneys who know how to translate complex clinical details into compelling arguments. Winning these cases in a courtroom takes experience, resources, and a team that’s done this hundreds of times before.
That’s why attorneys, judges, and medical professionals across the country refer their own clients and loved ones to our firm. It’s the kind of reputation that’s only earned over decades of doing this work at the highest level, one case at a time.
Healthcare Litigation Expertise
Our legal team includes former defense attorneys who know how the other side operates, in-house nurse consultants who understand the medicine, and board certified patient advocates who make sure every client feels heard throughout the process. That combination gives us the ability to evaluate a case from every angle before we ever file a claim. We know what the defense will argue, we understand the medicine behind it, and we prepare accordingly. Every case is built from day one as if it’s going to trial, because that’s what it takes to get clients the outcomes they deserve.

Client Testimonials
A Much Needed Voice
Tommy Hastings and his staff provided a much needed voice for us during our crisis. His attention to detail went beyond the scope of simply practicing law. He is honest, informative, pragmatic and communicated well with us from start to finish. In a sea full of competing attorneys, Tommy has cast a reputation for himself as the very best. I highly recommend his services.
Straight & Honest Answers
Tommy Hastings went above and beyond during my crisis. He genuinely cares about his clients and delivered a straight-forward, honest method to resolve my issue as quick as possible. If you want the best of the best then look no further. You’ve found him.
Treated as a Friend
I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. My needs were put first and was treated as a friend rather than a number. My opinions were valued, my nerves were calmed and the process was always explained. Tommy Hastings and his staff go above and beyond! I couldn’t have asked for a better law firm or attorney!
Happy With My Settlement
I would highly recommend Tommy and his law firm. He represented us in a case where a simple surgery left my mother permanently disabled. His staff was very professional and diligent and kept me well informed throughout the case. In the end we are happy with the settlement she received and feel lucky to have had Tommy as our attorney.
Their Case Focus Matters
My brother had an unnecessary surgery which left him with severe neurological issues. We called several attorneys but chose Hastings because of their focus on cases like this. While the case is still pending, we’ve already received a settlement offer that was very close to what we were looking for. Many thanks go out to Tommy and his great team!
Made Us Whole Again
We’re blessed to have found the Hastings law firm. Tommy and his firm were outstanding! All the staff were very responsive, professional, and helpful with any questions we had about our case. Their entire staff went above and beyond to keep us updated and most of all, calm. My family feels as though we have been made (mostly) whole again. Thank you both for your hard work.
Takes the Hard Cases
Tommy is a great guy, genuinely concerned about his clients. This is evident in not only how he runs his firm but the fact that he’ll take on the hard cases that other attorneys turn away. If you’re looking for someone that will fight for you against the odds, he’s your man.
10 Stars!!!
I can’t say enough great things about this law firm. The staff was friendly and courteous every step of the way. They kept me informed and explained all of my options. Tommy was amazing to work with and I couldn’t be more satisfied with my outcome. If I could give him 10 stars, I would. If you don’t go with Hastings, you are doing yourself a disservice. Highly recommend.
Kind and Respectful
I called after hours and around noon the next day I got a call back and was able to describe my situation. Unfortunately it did not meet the requirements for a lawsuit but the woman on the other end was extremely helpful, kind, and respectful. They didn’t just blow off my situation but instead helped me understand what I could possibly do to build a better case.
Made It Personal
We couldn’t have made a better choice by hiring the Hastings Law Firm to represent us. The staff was always professional but they showed real concern for our case and made it personal. If you need a great law firm, I would happily recommend them.

In February 2026, a federal grand jury indicted the transplant surgeon on five counts of falsifying patient records in the national organ transplant database. Three patients died. Tommy has stood alongside these families publicly since April 2024, appearing at press conferences and representing them in civil litigation against both the surgeon and the hospital system. The case has drawn sustained regional and national media attention.
Fertility Clinic Wrong Donor Case
Mr. Hastings filed suit in February 2023 on behalf of a North Texas couple after they discovered their fertility clinic had used the wrong donor sperm during IVF treatment. The error only came to light when a pediatrician's observation prompted the couple to pursue DNA testing. The case generated national media coverage from ABC News, CBS, the Dallas Morning News, and other major outlets, with Tommy serving as the public voice for the family and bringing widespread attention to failures in fertility clinic protocols and patient safeguards.
Texas Abortion Ban Medical Impact
Tommy Hastings was featured as a key legal source in a major Dallas Morning News investigation published in August 2025 examining the medical consequences of the Texas abortion ban.

Tommy also appeared in an accompanying video segment, providing legal analysis on how the law's vague language creates real danger for patients navigating critical healthcare situations in Texas.
