A National Leader in Negligent Healthcare Litigation
When medical care goes wrong, patients and families are often left searching for answers and for someone who will truly listen.

Our role is to restore that trust by standing beside you, uncovering the truth, and holding negligent doctors, hospitals, and healthcare providers accountable.

Each attorney on our team approaches every case with focused expertise, thorough preparation, and genuine compassion.
With nationwide capability and a commitment to justice, we work tirelessly to secure the answers and accountability you deserve, ensuring your voice is heard throughout the legal process.
A Singular Focus on Medical Injury Claims
Every member of our firm, including attorneys, nurses, paralegals, and legal assistants, shares one focus: medical-related injury litigation. We do not divide our attention among unrelated areas of law. Our entire team is dedicated exclusively to representing patients and families who have been harmed by preventable medical errors, unsafe pharmaceuticals, or defective medical devices.
This singular focus matters. Medical malpractice litigation is among the most complex areas of civil law, requiring equal mastery of medicine and courtroom advocacy. Our attorneys work closely with medical experts who help identify where care went wrong and how it should have been delivered. That partnership allows us to take on challenging cases that other firms may avoid and to pursue meaningful change in the healthcare system.
For us, this work is personal.
Every case represents someone’s story, often a parent, spouse, or child whose life was forever changed. We treat that responsibility with the seriousness and compassion it deserves.

SENIOR TRIAL COUNSELOur medical attorneys excel at turning complex medical facts into persuasive, human stories that reveal exactly what went wrong and why it matters. From the start of each medical investigation, they identify the key issues, anticipate defense strategies used by hospitals and insurers, and work closely with qualified medical experts to develop strong, evidence-based arguments. Every case is built with precision and persistence, qualities that have earned our firm a reputation for credible, results-driven medical malpractice advocacy across the country.
Trial Ready Advocates with a Proven Record
At Hastings Law Firm, we prepare every case as if it will go before a jury. This is not about being aggressive for its own sake; it is about ensuring our clients never have to settle for less than full justice. From the moment we accept a case, our team develops the strategy, evidence, and expert medical testimony necessary to prove negligence in court.
This approach is rooted in the philosophy of our founder, Tommy Hastings, a board-certified trial lawyer recognized nationwide for his success in complex medical malpractice cases. With more than two decades of experience and numerous multimillion-dollar verdicts and settlements, Tommy has built a reputation for unmatched preparation, medical fluency, and integrity in the courtroom.
Defense attorneys and insurance carriers know our reputation. They understand that when we bring a case, we are prepared to try it, and that knowledge leads to stronger settlement offers for our clients.
Our team also includes former defense attorneys and experienced hospital nurses who once worked inside the systems we now challenge. Their insight into hospital procedures and protocols, medical charting, and defense strategy gives our clients an extraordinary advantage and ensures that no critical detail is ever missed.

Together, they determine whether your case shows signs of negligence, meets the legal standards, and supports a strong claim for compensation and accountability.
Comprehensive
Investigation
For cases that meet the initial review criteria, our team conducts a detailed investigation into potential medical negligence. We obtain and analyze all relevant medical records, hospital policies, and provider notes, then our medical experts evaluate the care provided. Together, we identify whether the standard of care was breached and how that failure may have caused harm. This stage is critical in confirming whether your case can move forward toward formal representation by our law firm.
Case Development
and Filing
Our attorneys draft detailed pleadings, build timelines, and prepare expert testimony to ensure every fact is supported by evidence. We anticipate defense strategies used by medical facilities, insurers, and healthcare providers long before they are made, ensuring our cases are trial ready from the beginning.

Negotiation
During discovery and mediation, our trial lawyers take depositions, challenge defense experts, and evaluate opportunities for fair settlement offers. We negotiate from a position of strength built through preparation and credibility.
Trial or
Settlement
